White House says 'it's clear' Saudi-led OPEC is 'aligning' with Putin after it ignored Biden's pleas and cut oil production by TWO MILLION barrels a day: Gas prices set to soar again in 'total disaster' for President

The White House said on Wednesday that 'it's clear' the OPEC+ oil alliance 'is aligning with Russia' after it announced a massive production cut of two million barrels.

It stands to be a big boost for Moscow, despite the West's efforts to choke off oil and gas revenues as a source of cashflow to fund Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.

Meanwhile American drivers could face another increase in gas prices in what could end up being a massive setback for the Biden administration.

I am planning for the rise of an alternative currency and banking system.

Well, Putin already announced plans to peg the ruble to gold, which would certainly explain our current pressure on him (no, it isn't Ukraine; we've turned attacking weaker countries into a sport over the last 25 years).

If there's anything that would make a globalist's head explode, it would be a threat to the Monopoly money we've been printing for the last fifty years, which has provided the fuel that's supported our decadence and hegemony during this time.

FoxNews just showed a graph of how much in strategic reserve. Looked like 25-33% left. But if strategic reserve is for disasters, like nuclear war, I’m not too worried. Biden may run out, before election.

💯

I’m guessing an alternative “New G8” currency will be based on a basket of commodities that includes precious metals. These countries have economies built on real things. I think the currency likely will be also…

The US is sowing the seeds of its own dethronement as the world’s #1 economy, sadly.

sound very similar to "you are either with us, or against us".

The homo agenda which is dominating internal American policy right now is unacceptable to much of the world.

Disaster for Biden. That a-hole probably hasn’t bought gas for 20 years.

"So is the giant of popular approval Joe Biden going to stare down the Saudis like he did with Corn Pop? Royal family over there might start shaking in fear.

The Royal Family can just apply the same advice to biden as john kerry gave Iran about President Trump - "just wait him out."

Well, Biden is releasing 10 million barrels from the strategic reserve. That buys us one work week. Of course, we will eventually run out of strategic reserve.

If only the U.S. had a way to drill and replenish the reserve and be able to use domestically produced oil again. If only. /s

Maybe Biden will arrange an insurrection or declare war on Saudi Arabia.

The “total disaster” is for the American people who sat by and watched the GOP help biden steal an election to get rid of trump and said and did nothing but agree with them. We need to flush the GOP toilet once and for all and then go after the rats indict prosecute and jail them all

and yet, it’s still not enough incentive to PRODUCE MORE OIL here at home...

Applying Biden’s logic, it’s clear Biden is aligned with Putin against the citizens of the USA & Europe.

There's an enormous difference between the American Republic and the American Empire.

We should be praying and working unceasingly for the survival of the former; at best, we should be utterly indifferent to the latter and to the moral pathologies it promotes throughout the world.

And if nothing else, we should recognize that the interests of the two are no longer the same.
