I am not making that argument, although I do think such exhaustion would be at least catastrophic. I am arguing that the infrastructure that has been developed over several decades to extract and supply petroleum to the various industries in which it is an essential feedstock is being deliberately sabotaged by the WEF and it's minions, who are infiltrated into positions in industry and government where they commit treason against their people on behalf of the WEF.

There is no shortage of petroleum. Under Colorado alone there are ~2T BBLs of it. Marwar and Gharwar in Saudi Arabia may be depleted, but this is of major import only to Saudis. New petroleum reserves are continually being found, such as the huge pool at the mouth of the Amazon in Brazil. While offshore and shale oil resources are more expensive to extract, the value of the chemical feedstock and fuel that can be made from that oil is more than nominal to support extraction.

By creating artificial scarcity through not extracting reserves, not refining reserves being extracted in the US, but using USAID to fund the construction of refineries in Africa, and similarly failing to supply transportation resources in the West to deliver petroleum to markets in the West, political power is being applied by traitorous minions of the WEF in America and the West to destroy the world order that secures the peace and prosperity of not only the people of the West, but across the world, including East Asia.

Such desperation as the WEF has previously afflicted Africa, the ME, and S. Asia with is now being inflicted on the West and it's trading partners, advancing the power and profitability of Russia, China, India. It was never good and right to depress developing nations, and it is neither right to depress developed nations, nor to advance the interests of repressive regimes, but the banksters have done so continually and now seek to maximize their aggrandizement at the cost of the felicity of the entire human race and the living ecosystems of the world.

The WEF and their minions are traitors, committing treason not only against specific nations, but against humanity itself, including the hapless populations of Russia and China that are being used as test subjects in surveillance and oppression technology so that can be used against the global population. The WEF and it's minions need hanging for their crimes against humanity, and humanity will prosper after their malign influence and brutal savagery has been eradicated.
