OPEC Humiliates President Biden On A Global Stage
Quoth the Raven ^ | Oct 6, 2022

Posted on 10/07/2022 10:52:28 AM PDT by george76

The oil producing nations basically told the U.S. to "shove it", furthering the case that the BRIC nations are moving away from the U.S. dollar and separating economically from the West.

...

OPEC humiliated Biden on a global stage by cutting oil production after he specifically lobbied them not to. There’s no “nice” way of putting it - they straight-up snubbed the U.S. and have now, in my opinion, made it officially clear that they 1) are not our friends, 2) do not care what we want, 3) do not take us seriously and 4) are not here to help us and/or Biden get re-elected by lowering prices.

To use Biden’s parlance, “Let me tell you something, Jack - we’re not in bed with the Saudis anymore. They are more allied with China and Russia than they have ever been, at arguably the most crucial moment in recent history for our global economy.”

...

there was nothing quite like the “fist bump heard round the world” a couple months ago when Biden - who spends his time here domestically fighting for “equality” and human rights - decided to embrace the Saudis, and their track record of disapproving of gay rights, murdering journalists and multiple other human rights violations - instead of simply ramping up domestic oil production here in the U.S.

Biden probably went into the meeting he had with MBS months ago thinking we had some type of leverage, like we have had decades ago. The sad reality is that we simply don’t anymore: the Saudis have the oil, they have gold, and now they have allies just as big and powerful as the U.S. when combined. And those allies provide financial and military support at a crucial juncture for geopolitics.

Meanwhile, our President remains tone deaf and while his supporters remain immune to what can only be described as blatantly obvious double standards.

While the left hand, Biden was vilifying Exxon and Chevron here in the U.S., basically encouraging them to not bring more supply online, whilst blaming “gas station owners” and other people who don’t set the price of refined fuels.

With the right hand, he was fist bumping a man who publicly disapproves of gay rights and ordered the murder of a critical journalist, in order to try and get him to unleash more oil on the global stage.

...

And instead of him taking us seriously, he did the exact opposite of what Biden wanted yesterday - cut oil production, raising prices - and humiliated Biden on the global stage.

What must the world be thinking watching Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline project and lobbying for the end of fossil fuels in the midst of a global energy crisis?

Yah, but at least there are no more mean tweets. M I right or what.

Now, the Karen suburbanites can post on Facebook about how they have rid the world or “meanness” and feel the affirmation of their 50+ gal pal Facebook friends who “like” their posts and agree with it.

Now, we are all united, or something.

Now, we are done with the divineness.

Now, we are no longer facing a threat to “our democracy.”

Biden tried to pretend he was cool with his “fist bump” to the Saudis, but all the world knows he is an A-Hole imbecile. Hell, they were laughing at him as soon as his back was turned.

So he goes to the Saudis and insists they produce MORE oil and, son of a B**** they produce LESS oil. Joe’s a regular Dale Carnegie.

When Joe calls people on their cellphone, their cell phone says, “Scam Likely”.

Dumbo Joe has humiliated the United States of America. His policies have caused global inflation/recession, a global energy crises, funded the war between Russia and Ukraine, financed Iran’s terrorist organization and seems to be acting in China’s interest only.

This n(N)ation is a real sh*t-Show run by a mafia of literal thugs who think they can control or corrupt everyone.

This cartel ruining the USA is sending the money from our N(n)ation to other nations - one big world-wide cartel.

I hope someday when all this is sanctioned by something organization or nation will authorize elimination of all the criminals behind the scenes in the Biden Admin.
