I'm not an expert but aren't most inert training munitions painted blue, like the one in the photo?

don't forget this little tidbit that greenies want to bury

"The Rocky Mountains contain an estimated 4.3 trillion barrels of oil from oil shale in the Uinta, Piceance, and Greater Green River basins. These form the largest known oil shale deposits in the world; they also contain more oil than the rest of the world’s total proven reserves, giving the United States economic and geostrategic incentives to ultimately develop them."​
usgs study
I believe, Jimmy Carter had his team looking into this back in the 70's
"In the face of a major oil crisis in the 1970s, the Jimmy Carter administration federally funded oil shale research"oil shale
Huh???

 
Biden's agenda is to remove fuel subsidies which raise production costs. There is also a bio fuel carbon credit that targets refineries. They are making production in the US more expensive than it already is.

While I am in favor of more oil infrastructure and production. The US has other issue which makes the drill drill drill argument more complex.

Crude oil. We have an abundance of Natural gas. When people mention we were energy independent, they were counting it by BTU’s produced. By combining all hydrocarbons. We were never close to crude oil self reliant.

Opec is still holding back production to ramp up the price. Biden pissed of the Saudis, UAE and others by pulling defensive missile out of 4 middle eastern countries and reopening negotiations with Iran on the nuke deal.

Between Opec, US tax policy on companies operating in the US and the cost of drilling crude ( what we actually have in known reserves)in the US( deep water gulf, Alaska) the expense of that Crude, is not going to bring the price back to pandemic levels.
Indeed last numbers i have seen on crude alone it something like US produced 12.6 milion barrels per day pre covid and consumed 19milion per day, while there is excess in Gas there is massive shortfall in crude oil. Was so even in Trump years, there was never ever anything even remotely close to independence from foreign oil.

There has never been a surplus in crude oil in US in the past decade, production vs consumption graphs.

Opec needs all the $$$ they can get . Much of OPEC is involved in near decade of costly wars in Syria,Libya,Yemen etc and all of them run massive socialist programs 'money for nothing' for the domestic populace. Inept lazy fucks are also paying for hired muscle and proxy protection to Egypt, Pakistan, Sudan,Turkey, and a bunch of weapons to stay in the good graces of the west. The expenses they are running up are mindboggling.

Thank you,
MrSmith

The tank in the vid is actually Ukrainian T64 note the Tetris camo and lack of V , Z markings, first vehicle Osa aka SA-8Gecko SAM also looks Ukrainian, lacks V or Z, second SAM Tor aka SA-16 Gauntlet is likely Russian as white patch camo has been seen on some of theirs.

Meanwhile, the Hero of the resistance Zelensky seems to be recording his vids in front of a green screen as he gets copy pasted into Kiev background. So for all we know mister, 'i don't need an evacuation, i need ammo' is evacuated and could be sipping margaritas in Saint-Tropez

Proved reserves are estimated volumes of hydrocarbon resources that analysis of geologic and engineering data demonstrates with reasonable certainty 1 are recoverable under existing economic and operating conditions. Reserves estimates change from year to year because of:

  • New discoveries
  • Thorough appraisals of existing fields
  • Production of existing reserves
  • Changes in prices, costs, ownership, or planned infrastructure
  • New and improved techniques and technologies

Your link doesn't even include Colorado AT ALL as a list of source of oil reserves...
 
Please state your credentials on this opinion.


Here is one example of why relationships with Saudi have soured. (Saudis killed a Washington Post reporter who was writing bullshit about them.)

You can look up oil and gas production... and do simple math.

Look up opec output, they are still lower than when Trump was in office.

My credentials... I pay attention to the world around me. Then regurgitate my conclusions.
 
Under Trump we were exporting oil. The price got cheap so some wells got pickled around N TX and royalties were down.

In fact OPEC pitched a bitch.

There is shale oil under my house.
My neighbor works in the industry and is working his ass off right now.

Not crude oil. Natral gas we have an abundance of.
The internet, and most media would not even exist if any kind of credentials were required.
That assumption would be incorrect.

Because under Trump, Saudi's were trying to bankrupt the fracking industry; therefore Saudis were pumping more to artificially lower the price.
Under Biden, Biden cut off American production, so Saudis don't have to pump as much.
 
Are you delusional? You started slinging the insults first.
Why don’t you provide some information to back up your claim because you just sound like some fucking idiot on the Internet that screaming nonsense that they read on the news article

Trying to deflect from the topic and turn to personal insults.

Spoken like a true Internet jack ass you’re not worth the time so fuck off

Yep thats part of it. they are still under their trump level production.

quick link explaining the drop in June 2020

The coronavirus pandemic has caused oil demand to drop so rapidly that the world is running out of room to store it. At the same time, Russia and Saudi Arabia flooded the world with excess supply. That double black swan event caused oil prices to turn negative for the first time on April 20.
"I couldn't imagine that I would live a day that I would see that thing to happen," Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, Saudi Arabia's Minister of Energy said on Saturday, referring to April 20's oil crash.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

A buncha soy boys from Reddit (WOKE forum) wanted to go join the war against Russia ..........

Both main subribbits (forum threads) are completely demoralized now, and no one wants to talk about the alleged reddit brigade bombing. I'll dig deeper later, but it seems increasingly likely that a bunch of redditors actually did get wiped out.
 
That's true, it was pretty far down... but you didn't answer my hypothesis about the report ignoring anything that isn't "Proven" in their definition being significantly understated.
I didn’t see a question.
To attempt to answer what I think you are asking, the proven reserves are things that are accessible and financially viable. For example, the shale formations specifically in the Dakotas, have been know about for a long time. I knew about them before the shale boom in the 90’s as because of my life experience( my credentials ). The issue was cost effective recovery, it wasn’t until recently that became a viable source through advances in technology . Thats is why unproven resources are “ignored”. Because its still not a viable source, proven to produce. Its an educated guess, a possibility but currently unobtainable.

There are counter uas measures already there and en route, including kinetic small drones. If that pic really is in the Ukraine they don’t have a lot of those DJIs and they won’t last long. Too expensive and fragile.
 
Russia will treat western arms shipments to Ukraine as legitimate military targets, deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov says. "We warned [the US] of consequences from the insane transfer to Ukraine of weapons like mobile anti-aircraft systems, anti-tank missiles, and so on
