To state the obvious, Israel is quickly becoming a liability to the CW. "The army that can't be defeated" of the 1960s is in constant need to drag the Western powers, foremost among them the US, of course, into costly wars that they may not even want. This is an unsustainable situation, even with all the pull that the Israeli lobby has in the Western corridors of power.

Are Oil Majors Running Out of Reserves? 

  • Shell’s disappointing 2025 results continue to create ripples across oil markets as the London-based energy major now only wields proven reserves of 8.1 billion barrels of oil equivalent, less than 8 years of its current production.

  • Shell is now facing a 200,000 boe/d production gap by 2030, despite its corporate policy pledging to grow total hydrocarbon output by 1% annually and to keep crude production flat.

  • Shrinking reserves might be the key factor in triggering a long-mooted Shell-BP merger, especially as BP’s own reserve replacement ratio came in at 90% in 2025, taking its own reserve life to just 6 years of ...

I think it was @Alfred777 that posted a video yesterday of a man highly upset and saying what is at the heart of this issue.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
