Valero refines the sour crude (like from Venezuela)

plot thickens

Reminds me of Russians, I swear

What Americans need to learn is to stop filming this shit and providing real time intel to the enemy on what are the consequences of the sabotage, which can be used by them for future improvement.

(if it’s an actual staged job)

Nevertheless they shouldn’t be filming it even if it was an accident because of the times we are in, as it enables propaganda opportunities for the enemy in the middle of a global energy crisis.

Happens to be so that Valero Energy is the primary supplier of military-grade jet fuel (JP-8) and diesel to Israel from the United States.

The supply chain is highly specialized because not all refineries are configured to produce JP-8, which contains specific additives (corrosion inhibitors and anti-icing agents) required for military aircraft like the F-16 and F-35.

Probably a coincidence.

The blast reportedly involved a heater unit. In the times of war, these units are often pushed to their absolute thermal limits to maximize output. It was probably running above it’s optimum due to the abnormal demand, so an accident fits here well.

Whether it was sabotage or just “stress”, it seems like the result is the same.

I suspect that the US just lost a massive chunk of its ability to refine its and Israel’s jet fuel.

This will also likely affect commercial airlines– higher prices/cancellations.

Though I don’t want to jump into conclusions yet, while the videos
show significant fires and damage, we don’t know how much actual output is affected.

This is half of the people on this app.

Are you sure?
