Shock OPEC+ Oil Production Cut Puts $100 a Barrel on Horizon, Crude Rises To >$80 On Oil Cartel Snub (Strategic Petroleum Reserve DOWN -42% Under Biden, Diesel Prices UP 64%)

While Resident Biden is on good terms with the Mexican drug and sex trafficing cartels that control our southern border, the oil cartel just stuck their fingers in Biden’s eyes by cutting oil productions.

Cartel removes more than 1 million barrels a day from market Analysts say the decline in oil inventories will accelerate Today, crude oil futures are up 6.62% to over $80 per barrel.

Sunday’s surprise OPEC+ production cuts have redefined the outlook for crude prices, bringing $100 a barrel back into the frame.

Prior to the announcement, the cartel’s own numbers suggested the group would need to pump more oil, not less, in the second half. With the International Energy Agency expecting a demand surge later this year, there’s now renewed risk of a fresh inflationary impetus for the global economy.

Under Biden’s Reign of Error, diesel prices are up 64% while the Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) have been drained by -42%.

St. Benedict, help protect us from Biden and The Federal Reserve.

I wonder what FJB is going to do about gas prices now that the mid-terms are over and they cleaned our clocks with lowered gas prices.

Trump tried to top off the strategic oil reserve when the prices were at a historic low. Congress stopped him. But had he done so, Bumbles would have simply released more of it to say he lowered the price to consumers.

Seems to me that the EASY SOLUTION to this is to get on the blower and call up MBS, and tell him we’re not going to take this crap from him.

Oh yeah, I forgot, the Neocons now made them our enemy (along with Russia and China) - in the case of the Saudis, once we talked ‘price caps on oil’, they were through with us.

On a related note, here’s a clip from a Saudi TV show where they brutality mock Biden and Harris. The message is clear. The Saudis have zero respect for our current leadership.

So I’m guessing that if Slow Joe gives them a call, they’d just laugh then hang up.

To be fair. Most everyone has zero respect for the Biden administration. Not just the Saudis.

True that. But I’m struck about how very open the Saudis are about it.
Someone high up in the Saudi government must have approved that mocking Biden skit. I honestly wonder why. What advantage would airing it give them?
