TODAY Trump: we’ll refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve with Venezuelan oil. Same guy who filled the “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” with seized coins. America’s new energy policy: take it first, brand it later.

SPR - Strategic Petroleum Reserve Crude Oil Stocks, right now. Venezuela produces 1.2M bbl/d, would take a lot of investment to bring it up. Let's observe. https://t.co/uEsUOn6xqP

Trump has 11 months of US oil reserves left. If the Trump admin can get Venezuelan reserves to substitute even half the output of the SPR, that buys them another 1-2 years. That's 2-3 years. Can the Iranian regime survive that long?
