There's the evidence. The exact prices are not really known, and high estimates are $67-70. The amount to be purchased is not yet known (though 3 billion 'could' be projected). OPEC prices could change, as they often do, down or up. India is also selling Russian crude, which Big Oil has been purchasing at a MUCH lower rate, while raising prices on the 99%, making 100s of $billions in profit, and funding the murder, rape, genocide, carpet bombing of Ukraine. And - re. OPEC - this is not just about oil. It's also about keeping the Dollar as a primary global trade currency. Moreover, the US will replenish those reserves also with a lot of IT'S OWN OIL. This article is disinformation. Not $80/barrel; not 2 billion barrels; Demonrats weren't the only ones to block that purchase of shitty, low grade oil 3 years ago; NOR did was that proposed primarily by Trump.

I understand your point.

It's not a point, it is pure propaganda. He claimed the story is a lie, and you literally proved him the liar by providing proof. So he backtracked with "I meant we don't know this exact price because maybe they paid less than market rate".

That's litterally propaganda from a literal propagandist.

And if you expose him as a liar again he will move the goalposts again and claim he only meant something else. Each time trying to move into something unprovable or subjective.

He doesn't have a point. His job here is simply to create doubt.
