The new Biden Administration has largely been focused on fulfilling its election promises in its first month in power. After reversing an extensive list of Trump policies via executive orders, Biden is now focusing on the Middle East. In stark contrast to his predecessor, Joe Biden’s administration is taking a reserved and diplomatic approach towards the ongoing crisis in the Middle East region. While the new administration is yet to fully address Iranian Sanctions or the JCPOA-agreement, it has stepped up the pressure on some Arab countries by temporarily blocking U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. In yesterday’s “historic” speech, Biden addressed U.S. military support for the Saudi-led anti-Houthi alliance currently fighting in Yemen. International media has been largely focused on the perceived hard-line position taken by Biden. By removing full-scale offensive military support for Saudi forces, Washington seems to be pushing for a diplomatic solution to the conflict, in which Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and others are fighting a proxy war against the Iranian supported Houthi forces. Diplomatic sources indicate that the move is a "routine administrative action", noting that it was standard for incoming administrations to review large arms deals initiated by outgoing administrations. Still, Biden’s moves are not going to go down very well in the respective Arab Gulf capitals. Other major players, such as Egypt, Israel, and Jordan will be watching Biden’s moves carefully in the coming months. Among the sales that have been put on hold is a massive $23 billion (€19 billion) deal to supply the UAE with 50 Lockheed-Martin F-35 stealth fighter jets. The deal was made in the final days of the Trump presidency, after the November 6 election. It remains unclear whether or not other Trump arms deals are also going to be targeted, such as the December

President Trump’s work in assisting with the ME peace process may go a long way in thwarting the efforts of these scumbags.
Many of the Arab nations, Israel and others are working together to create a new order in that region. Jews and Muslims coordinating special defensive operations together and successfully keeping peace and prosperity alive in the region.
I believe they are well positioned to deal with future threats including the Obama-bin-Biden problem.
If the little scumbags in Iran or other areas pop up their heads, I expect they won’t have heads for very long.
President Trump’s name will be held in reverence by future generations.
As you point out the cost of energy is one big issue.
However, the largest issue of all is the petrodollar itself.
If we break off relations with the Saudis, then the petrodollar collapses, and that means the US dollar is toast as the de facto international currency.
Then we are talking hyperinflation—and the wheelbarrow will be worth more than the currency in it.
Biden will try to undermine the improving relations between Israel and Arab states in order to boost Iran’s influence in the region.
Time mag. also had (the shadow campaign) listen to one and read the other...The Mike Lindell one is the last 15 minutes of his documentary; the Democrats say they did the theft to save Democracy however, I see what they did as illegal, dirty as hell and as throwing America and Her Constitution under the bus with lies about a truly great President who understood what the elites on both sides were doing to Kill The American Republic and put Socialism/Marxism in place. Pelosi and Schumer should be put behind bars as evidence will show those two dirty politicians knew the election was rigged.
from the article:
The reaction from Arab governments to yesterday’s Biden speech have been very positive, as was expected. None of the countries involved are willing to put their relationship with Washington at risk. Saudi Arabia’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Adel Al Jubeir, stated that Biden’s “historic” speech confirms “America’s commitment to work with friends and allies” on resolving conflicts.
His words carried a tacit but clear undertone that Washington not forget the larger picture, which includes both Iran and Iraq, and focuses on both geopolitics and energy.
Best I can tell, Oilprice is the British equivalent of Bloomberg. Its rather like a rich man’s Wall Street Journal and its ownership is vested in a variety of parasitic stock owners.
Misleading headline. Should be.
“Everything Biden does is designed to hurt America and enrich his family.”
Could?
Everything that happens in the Middle East revolves around China.
Iran is just their most notable asset there.
And Joe loves him that China...
Many of the Arab nations, Israel and others are working together to create a new order in that region.
And because of that, the new admin will start implementing regime change in as many of them as they can, thus upending and negating the Middle East peace accomplished by President Trump.
Everything Biden does will probably hurt America.
