US Strategic Petroleum Reserve just hit 284.6 million barrels — lowest since 1982.
That's 26 straight weeks of declines. Down over 131 million barrels from the peak.
Trump said 3 weeks ago he'd use Venezuelan oil to refill reserves. Still waiting.
America's emergency oil cushion is razor-thin right now. If something breaks geopolitically or supply gets disrupted, we have very little buffer.
This isn't just a number — it's a strategic vulnerability. Energy security matters when the world is this unstable.
