Donald Trump has taken Russia's title as the world's gas station.

Russia is no longer the "world's gas station," as it was once, and sometimes still is, called in the West. The laurels of "world's gas station" are passing to the United States. Donald Trump proudly announced this to reporters.

At a regular White House press briefing, Donald Trump declared that the United States is becoming "the world's gas station." This is due to the energy crisis and the blocked Strait of Hormuz. Against this backdrop, many countries have begun to turn to the United States for petroleum product supplies. The US president believes that even if the Strait of Hormuz is unblocked, Texas's role will not diminish.

We've become a very large gas station. When people heard about losing Hormuz, they started looking elsewhere. And some companies and countries, I've spoken to them, some of them plan to continue using Texas; they prefer it there.

Trump is also confident that oil prices will "drop like a stone" overnight once the Strait of Hormuz is unblocked. And even now, they're not "too high," although they could be much higher.

Meanwhile, analysts believe global oil reserves are depleting at a rapid pace, and US efforts are clearly insufficient, to bolster Trump's ego. If traffic through the Strait of Hormuz isn't restored soon, oil prices will skyrocket due to supply disruptions.

I'm just wondering... us
They were scolded for this, like they were on the needle... and here it is - they are proud...

[Nexcom]

After all, it was Donya who said this - you need to understand.
(well, sometimes he didn’t carry much - he would make such a mess that it was just downright....)

[Mouse]

Donya - is this such an inviolability?

[Nexcom]

Donya is higher than immunity. This is Trump himself.

[Mouse]

Hee hee... And Putin turns on the sun!

[Nexcom]

...when Donya allows him...

[Mouse]

Sorry, but I don't care. The sun in the Far East is turned on manually. Where are you, America? You're nowhere near me.

[Nexcom]

I just emphasized how great Donya is (as he himself thinks).
Some singer from Cyprus also allows spring every year with her mouth and doesn't even ask Donya...

[Mouse]

-Where is Napoleon?
-in the sixth ward...
-they'll arrange to send him there...

[snow mountain]

And Putin turns on the sun

He moves the galaxies. Trump turns on the sun.

[Nexcom]

Of course, they agreed on a division of labor in Anchorage?

[Mouse]

So Putin has the switch... He can turn it off at will...

[Nexcom]

I'm also thinking that having a switch handy is more important than moving some galaxies. A switch is serious business—it just turns everything off. And you can move around in the dark...

They became an empire in the form of a global gas station at the beginning of the 20th century, and since then they have been fighting for 100+ years to regain that title. So only Navalny's supporters believed this chatter about the gas station.

He simply suffers from the same thing most Americans do – "bowl fish syndrome." He can't remember who called us that or under what circumstances. He doesn't know whether it was an honor or a way to belittle us.
Trump reacts like a missile's homing head to the words "FIRST" and "MOST".
All of America will be proud with him when Fox News repeats these words of his for the 637th time. And everything else is just "that was under the previous administration." Why bother trying to remember anything?

[Mouse]

I'd like to cut off his head... dreams...

[cytadell]

we were scolded for this,

I hope this is self-irony. Otherwise, it's just stupid...

[Mouse]

But I'm stupid... Don't you remember how they shouted from every iron that Russia was dependent on oil?

[barclay]

It's very simple: they have this pattern in their minds: Russia is bad, and the US is good. It's all as simple as a "corner of the house"...
So buying oil from Russia is "dependence." But buying oil from the US is "freedom."

[Mouse]

My brain is creaking, I need to lubricate it.....

[barclay]

I'm not sure it will help...

[Mouse]

Depends on what you apply it with... ........

[barclay]

This can only be treated surgically...

Lobotomy? As an option...

It's interesting that the Americans have enough commercially viable reserves for 8 years at the current rate of production. What they will do in 10 years is an interesting question.

[Mouse]

Well then... Have fun while you can...

They still have a glimmer of hope for Russia's collapse. They're doing everything they can to achieve that.

Russia is far from being the leader in reserves; it would be better for them to squeeze Venezuela.

[Sedov]

They'd better put pressure on Venezuela

There are nuances there, too. Stealing Maduro doesn't mean a sharp jump in Venezuelan production. Whatever they say, Venezuelan oil is too heavy. The only interesting thing there was Merey 16. Incidentally, Chevron is now trying to increase its production. But the United States has delayed coking units for heavy crudes from Mexico and Venezuela. So it's suitable for the domestic market. Trump needed the oil laurel wreath over his head—so, inspired by his quick victory over Venezuela, and believing Netanyahu's fables, he moved on to Iran for Eastern oil. But then came the opposite. In any case, he makes a good living from oil, insider trading, and everything else. Vanity, narcissism, and self-interest will ultimately be his undoing. And how he still wants to glorify himself everywhere. Even the new hundred-dollar bills now have his "face" on them. He wants to be known as the greatest president in US history. But time is running out, and there are more traps. But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

[alexoff]

They've been doing that in Venezuela for a long time. True, the oil there is closer in consistency to fuel oil...

America doesn't remember what happened 10 years ago. Why bother thinking about what will happen in 10 years?
Specifically, Trump - in February, was he thinking about how Bibi's persuasion would turn out in two months?

Although, of course, there are some plans – to force the sheikhs back into their fold, to finally defeat Iran COMPLETELY. With luck, Russia might either collapse or be deceived. Siberia and the Arctic shelf... In short, I don't think it's fair to say they haven't thought at all about where they'll be pumping oil in 10 years...

[Sedov]

How he enjoys these laurels. When gas prices in Texas itself drop, Texans will rejoice. For now, this is just election chatter.

[Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov]

❝ Trump said that the United States is turning into "the world's gas station" ❞ —

— Trump can rightfully consider himself king of the gas station ...

[Nexcom]

...and Melania is the queen...

[Foggy Dew]

Bgg))) Does the US have enough oil production for itself?
PC: By the way, are the local hamsters who were howling in chorus about Russia's raw materials economy coughing up any coughs?

[tralflot1832]

In Europe, a local holiday has evolved into mass celebrations at gas stations. What a joy it is to fill up with Trump's signature fuel. They're especially happy in Holland, where a gallon of gas costs over €8. Americans, stop whining at your gas stations about the price. Let's make gas in Holland over €10 a gallon. Let them think, maybe it's time, as Callas says, to retire and go on a bender. To hell with these cars—they're the devil's spawn.

Donald probably reads topwar.ru. Then maybe it's time for Anchorage 2, but only in Moscow!
Maybe there's something to discuss? Or should the terrorist clown just show off some more?! And will Merz and Macron satisfy their imperial ambitions?!

Dialogue is possible, but it's important to consider both Russia's and Iran's views and to formally document the interests of all parties. It's important to remember, using Ukraine as an example, that one cannot obtain resources from Russia with one hand while (...) slandering it under its nose and smiling about it with the other. Russia also has something to consider.

[snow mountain]

If traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is not restored soon, oil prices will skyrocket.

It would be good if this movement along Hormuz was never restored.

[uralex]

Is the next goal the title of "banana republic"?

[Andy_nsk]

Trump is also confident that oil prices will “collapse like a stone” overnight as soon as the Strait of Hormuz is unblocked.

Why would that be? Considering that a significant portion of the reserves have been sold off in just a month and a half, and also that the strait won't be reopened tomorrow, at least half of the reserves will have already been burned by then, and they'll need to be replenished. So, oil prices are unlikely to fall below $80 until the end of the year.

[Sergey Mitinsky]

Oh damn!
We didn’t even know that this title was so honorable!
What we have - do not store, lost - weep
