美国战略石油储备目前距离预计的最低运营水平仅剩约1900万桶。很快，将不再有安全缓冲来保护世界免受海峡进一步损失的影响。

The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is now ~19MM barrels away from estimated minimum operating levels. There very soon will no longer be a safety buffer to protect the world from further losses out of the Strait.

战略石油储备的建立是为了在紧急情况下帮助我们的国家。

但总统们用它来稳定燃料价格……全球范围内，因为石油是一个全球市场。

如果我们用更多的储备来掩盖战争的成本，我们就有可能导致储存它的盐穴坍塌。

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve was created to help OUR country during emergencies.

But Presidents use it to stabilize fuel prices… GLOBALLY, because oil is a global market.

If we use much more of it to mask the cost of wars, we risk collapsing the salt caverns that hold it.
