We don't need light sweet crude. For the most part we are using "opportunity" crude which is just another name for the heavy sour stuff. It's cheaper and we've adapted to it. It is a pipe killer and that's some of the shit we've learned. I was part of an inspection team in Garyville LA and we wrote a white paper on T9 after our findings because the nerds claimed that it was indestructible but sulfidation wasn't accounted for. The sour gas is heavy as shit on sulfur content but the industry doesn't want to admit they were wrong.
I think the problem is we view Ukraine as this great country but it honestly was a piece of shit and corrupt as hell.
We didn't try to build bigger bombs we started to build one big ass warhead that can strike several targets. MiRVs are great because we know if I can get one missile into orbit then I can crash 8 different targets. SALT and START kinda forced is into that mindset. For example an SSBN has 24 missiles. But it actually has 120 if you count how many targets it can hit. Each missile can split. That's the danger
