A comment from your source:
"Something doesn't add up here. Assuming a 10 year period for the steal, it equates to USD 10.5 bn per year, or USD 875 million per month, consistently. Further assuming an average price of USD 70 per barrel, the quantity stolen comes to USD 12.5 million bbl/month or around 420,000/day. That is 6 times the quantity reported here. In other words: either they steal 6 times as much, or the value of the theft isn't USD 105 bn, but more in the USD 17 bn range.
To get 420,000 barrels across the border, they need 1500 trucks each carrying 40 tonnes, every day. That is 1 truck every minute non-stop 24 hours. Where is this procession of trucks being observed? It would have to be clearly visible on satellite images."
Got anything to say about that?

But the OP claimed Washington was stealing it?
And when his argument was shot full of holes, he ran away?
I never said OP was accurate and have often been the one to call them out when they were wrong and posting nonsense.
You're just pissy because I'm on to the game.
The same people. Every time.
Environmentalists cheer war.
Free speech liberals cheer censorship.
Anti-police protesters cheer FBI targeting political opposition.
Protesters against abortions laws and prohibiting children from being surgically mutilated by a profit driven vanity industry support forced injections of experimental "vaccines" while ignoring dead kids.
The great thing is you've gone so far that even the dullest sheep are waking up. Hopefully one day you'll wake up too. Maybe one day they can manage to blame it all on Trump and your sleepy eyes will flutter open and you'll suddenly agree.
The idea that nobody in Washington is profiting off every aspect of the US foreign misadventures is preposterous. If it's 80% 50% or 5% it's too much and we know it's happening. It's why Ukraine is a key country, because they were profiting off the energy and medical sectors there via their friends and family.
