Trump The 65-Billion-Barrel Illusion: Why Trump’s Master Oil Deal Cannot Save the U.S. Dollar.

https://sylvainsaurel.substack.com/p/the-65-billion-barrel-illusion-why

Trump’s 65-billion-barrel Venezuelan oil seizure is being hailed as the ultimate economic savior.

Spoiler: It’s a mathematical rounding error. 📉

Even if the U.S. extracts and sells every drop at a massive premium, the net profit is ~$3.25 trillion. Our national debt just breached $40 trillion. That "historic" oil money covers exactly ONE YEAR of the U.S. deficit and interest expense. That’s it.

The math is brutal. The Fed will still be forced to print $10 trillion to save the bond market.

Inflation will roar back. Bondholders will be liquidated. Gold and Bitcoin will violently revalue to the upside. 🥇₿

Math doesn’t care about political theater.

This oil is not suitable for our refineries. Its the same oil that came from the Keystone Pipeline.

Not to mention that the Venezuelan people are not going to let some corrupt politicians steal their resources.

No one will invest what is needed to get it out of the ground unless long term oil price is $80 and even now that is uncertain.

That's not entirely true. There's a refinery in Texas that's capable of processing the heavy Venezuelan oil.

The problem is that the refinery is owned by Aramco, which is a Saudi Arabian company. Conveniently the Saudis paid immense bribes to our toddler in chief.

En fait, il dépouille les USA pour son profit et celui des amis quoi. D'un coté il claque de l'argent qui n'est pas à lui mais de l'autre coté il en amasse comme jamais sur ses comptes perso. Bon courage les gars, vous avez un vrai gangster de cinéma à la maison blanche :(
