It’s nearly impossible to accidentally get everything wrong, so I say deliberate. There’s your 3 steps, plus ridiculous spending, fomenting war, logistical failures, and now a rail strike increasing inflation and logistical nightmares.
Add in banking and real estate issues and you could be witnessing a massive economic depression.

If there were “better Democrats” in charge...I might be a little upset that OPEC has made so blatant a move to influence our elections. It is obvious what they are doing and OPEC has certainly been a thorn in the world’s backside for decades. The business side isn’t so insulting but the pushing of Islam and support of terrorists is the galling issue for me.

We could restart a renewed drilling and fracking push in this nation and literally flood the world with oil and there are lots of things we can do...but not with these democrats in charge!

We, the US - the current BidenIdiot Leftists, Progressive, Socialist and Wokeism Regime - are essentially doing what the UK, Germany and the EU are doing, committing suicide and self-inflicted economic death.

‘the precious juice’

“To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time. When the world was powered by the black fuel. And the desert sprouted great cities of pipe and steel. Gone now, swept away. For reasons long forgotten, two mighty warrior tribes went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel they were nothing. They built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked. But nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. The cities exploded. A whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men.”
Narrator at beginning of mad max 2

The way to punish Saudi Arabia, is resume full energy production in the USA and undercut them.

These people are so short sighted. Russia and China can’t give thr same defense protection but because they actually have friendly relationships with Saudi’s enemies they can surely offer something. They haven’t learned the lesson from Russia. If you fire your best weapon you better be certain it’s going to do what you think it’s going to do.

The Liberal World Order intends to control all countries.

If you want something from them, they will own you.

“If this administration insists on making us more dependent on less friendly, less ‘environmentally conscious’ foreign oil producers”

They just can’t drop the ‘save da erf’ narrative.

"I would expect that the multilateral, mid-level engagements you're referring to will be rescheduled at some point," State Department spokesman Ned Price

Translation: Don't worry, Biden is going to capitulate, but he wants to wait until after the election.

Sounds like a great idea to piss off the people providing energy to us, since 0Biden has crippled our energy independence. Dems always want to be Europe . . .

Yes, perfectly stated....Just as Obama drove Russia into China's arms.

Frankly Obama's people are running the show - if not along with Obama himself. Biden's never had the brain power to be more than a gopher boy throughout his years in office.

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist."------—President Dwight D. Eisenhower, farewell address, January 17, 1961

Biden and his goons will find the worst solution possible then choose that path. That said, I’m betting the House of Saud rejected the meeting first.
