We now have the Biden Admin accusing the Saudis of wanting Russia to win and the Saudis laughing at Biden, saying he only asked for a 1-month reprieve on OPEC cuts until after the election. Is a public argument with the Kingdom good for Middle East peace and stability? I think not.
"Strongly-worded" statement from NSC spokesman John Kirby re: Saudi Arabia: "...we are reevaluating our relationship with Saudi Arabia in light of these actions, and will continue to look for signs about where they stand in combatting Russian aggression."
Same people who tell you that they can prevent Putin from using chemical weapons or a tactical nuke can't even get the Saudis to pump more oil and are working to destabilize the ME.
Your war, Democrats (and some Republicans). Hope you, and not me, have to live with the consequences.
He couldn't seem to figure out that the Saudi's have no incentive to do favors for someone who's Net Zero fossil fuel initiative is a bit at odds with the products they sell to the World. That's why they are making deals with the Russians and the Chinese
Or any of the Eastern Eurpean countires who are terrifed of Putin?
But I do agree that our green energy policies are a huge factror allowing Putin to fund his aggression,
We invited this by stiffling our own fosslie fuel production.
In this sense it is correct that if Trump had won Putin never would have invaded.
Our show of weakness gave Putin a green light.
including granting Nord Stream 2 (known in the White House as "Nordstrom 2") provided a green light.
No doubt I want the Ukranians to win but not at the expense of risking WW III. Nor should you want the eastern half of Ukraine engulfed in a fireball.
Also might have helped if Biden hadn't personally insulted the bastard he is now begging for quid pro quo to help the midterm elections.
