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.

I hope the Saudis tell him to pound sand.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Fixed.

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

Biden announces ban on US imports of Russian oil, warns gas prices will ‘go up further’

President Biden on Tuesday announced a ban on all imports of Russian oil, gas and energy to the United States, targeting “the main artery” of Russia's economy amid President Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine.

Dems are idiots. They hate America.

We have hundreds of years of oil in Alaska alone.

This is beyond ridiculous. Begging Saudi, Venezuela , etc is retarded. Who next, Iran? Already buying from Russia then wasting money in Ukraine to fight Russians?

Furniture has more sense than these idiots.

[McGruff]

Oh, now they are rubbing it in.

[dforest]

I thought this trip was canceled for now. The Saudi’s weren’t really into Joe and his begging.

[Vermont Lt]

I wonder if Biden will call MBS a murderer to his face again? The Saudis like when that happens. They will cut everyone’s hours and tell them to cut production.

[GOPJ]

Even 'hat in hand' didn't the Saud's reject Biden again? The effing 'elites' in DC must be so proud. /s
