Biden’s Visit To Saudi Arabia Exposes The Ukraine Narrative For The Sham It Is

Biden's visit has little or nothing to do with the Ukraine war. The fact is that Biden insulted the Saudi's, slashed military aid to Saudi Arabia for their fight against the Iranian backed Houthis in Yemen and withdrew US air defense units. All this while kissing Iranian butt in the Vienna talks that gave away the farm to the Iranians.

The result was entirely predictable: stepped up missile attacks against Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States and attacks on shipping by both the Houthis and Iranians.

Now that gasoline prices are through the roof because Biden helped strangle the re-investment in fracking that would have restored US production by 1 million bbl per day, he's off to kiss Saudi butt to get them to pump more oil.

The fraud Biden would rather give money to dictators then allow America to produce her own oil. He's an ass-clown.

Biden is really going to Saudi Arabia to put MBS in handcuffs and haul him away, “make him accountable”, just like he promised.

Oh wait—that was just the wild ravings of a senile guy.....

[FLT-bird]

I hope the Saudis tell him to pound sand.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

The woke sports media is currently vilifying all associated with the new LIV golf tour spearheaded by Greg Norman and financed mostly by Saudi investments.

Their silence on Joe's oil begging is testament to their hypocrisy.

[FlyingEagle]

Saudi revenues must be up astronomically due to Brandon’s failed war against Putin. Saudi will be grateful and want it to continue.

[cgbg]

MBS is bad.

No, MBS is really good.

Next week MBS will be bad again.

Remember—don’t believe disinformation, even if it contradicts last week’s disinformation!

[telescope115]

Can’t wait too see him “bow” before the king like obama did.

[mass55th]

He’s going to Saudi Arabia to beg the Prince to provide the U.S. with more oil /gasoline, to save his sorry ass, Administration, and mid-term elections. The Saudis should tell him to pound sand. They’ve got plenty of that too.

[jimwatx]

The Saudis are way more evil than Russia, just without the nukes.

[bert]

Total Bull Shit founded in gross ignorance and iced with bigotry

[libertylover]

President Biden will reportedly visit Riyadh with the goal of persuading [kissing the ass of] Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Fixed.

[libertylover]

All this while kissing Iranian butt in the Vienna talks that gave away the farm to the Iranians.

I didn't hear what happened. What sort of horrible agreement did Biden make?

[wgmalabama]

They have enough sand. Everything that Obozo wanted to do but would have diminished his legacy. Now it’s time to push under Biden. Wake up Jill. Your potato is going to be listed as the worst president in the universe.

[rrrod]

Great post.

[McGruff]

Locally I saw gas for over $5.00 for the first time this week. Something that effects all voters.

[rrrod]

Satire right?

[pierrem15]

First off, we gave back billions in frozen funds. You can be sure the sticky fingers of our diplomatic team, former officials acting as consultants, and the banksters got part of that cash. I'm also certain a substantial chunk will also be kicked back to the Dem Party.

Nothing was finalized but the preliminary negotiations effectively removed any restraints on Iran's nuke program. Russian diplomats were laughing because our starting position gave away more than what they would have accepted after real negotiations.

[jimwatx]

Nope I think the Saudis royals are an evil bunch despite them ostensibly being our ‘ally’. Russia might be scaarier because they have nukes, but they aren’t as demented as the Saudi rulers.
