The #UK announces new powers making it easier to #mobilise tens of thousands of former armed forces personnel to #prepare for #war.

New rules mean #reservists remain on call for an extra decade, & lower the threshold for them being called into service.

The measures affect the segments of the armed forces reserve who are former service personnel known as the #strategicreserve.

Currently, the age limit for the strategic reserve is 55. This will change to 65. #auspol #UKpol #USPol #Trump

The next day, I was annoyed to see it for $2.72 at the same location. 😞

#OPEC has more power to raise prices than we do to keep them low. No wonder #EV sales are up 11%.

Looks like releasing oil from the #StrategicReserve had the desired effect.
