Yes, I know it started with trade war, then really kicked off with the covert war *cough cough* and kinetic is coming soon...

Its pointless to try to prep, if Im on the sinking Titanic Im not looking for a life jacket or a lifeboat... im going for the A5 Waygu and brandy etc

So my question really was how long until Chinese Americans will be denied travel, bank loans, credit cards, and have their accounts frozen and or US civil war or anything that makes taking a luxury vacation an impossibility? thats my benchmark
I'm on the same boat man, take me with you.

Wait. So the US Gov was releasing oil reserves to tame oil prices which is usually the same around the globe. The US Govt was even making money from this by exporting the released reserves. Now the Republicans are trying to have the US government make less money by banning the said oil's export to the biggest importer of oil?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

So either:
  • Someone was actually selling SPR oil to China, not that it's very strange since the point of releasing SPR is to depress global oil prices and China is the biggest importer of oil, and this law is meant to stop that, in which case Russia would be like "oh, well, thanks?"
  • No one was actually selling SPR oil to China and this law would do jack and is only chest thumping

You and @9dashline can stand tall together at the bow singing that Celine Dion song together... ;)
Titanic is too small, Wonder of the Seas is Five times larger...

And it has azipods so no rudder needed, its sail-by-wire with autopilot and manual joystick to override, no large clumsy steering wheel mechanism like in the good old days...

The Royal Grand Loft stateroom on this ship goes for $55k for 7 day cruise

Nah, they are just pissed that China is getting their oil for 2019 prices thanks to Donald Trump's greatest deal ever, and exporting it to Europe for profit.

Also, this makes me wonder how much reserve does the US still have left?

Not much.

The plan to fill the SPR, which has reached its lowest level since 1984, might not be attractive enough to sellers, despite the DoE’s efforts at enticement.
