(68,414 posts)100million barrels of oil roughly the amount the world consumes every day occupies approximately 15.9 million cubic meters If placed end-to-end(assuming a height of 85 cm per container),100million barrels would stretch for 85,000 km, wrapping around the Earth more than twice and itâs all in Houston

(31,868 posts)so trump is saying that we have taken 33 largest tankers full of oil... from oil fields that can barely function... and sent it to Houston
I am skeptical.
did we pay Venezuela for the 100 million barrels? or just steal it?
not to mention that a trade document says that in March 2026, only around 1 million barrels per day are even produced in Venezuela. It hasn't been 100 days since Maduro was kidnapped.
