Biden administration begged Saudis to push oil cut until after midterms: report

Saudi Arabia shut down Biden officials’ pleadings to delay the crucial OPEC+ decision last week slashing oil production until after the upcoming midterm elections, with Riyadh viewing the demand as a political ploy, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

American officials cautioned the Saudi government that cutting oil production would weaken Washington’s already strained relationship with Riyadh, and that the US would interpret the move as the kingdom taking Russia’s side in its ongoing war on Ukraine, according to the newspaper, which cited unnamed sources.

Saudi leaders rejected the White House’s request, “which they viewed as a political gambit by the Biden administration to avoid bad news” ahead of the Nov. 8 elections.

It pretty much goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway — the people running our government, are not governing the country. They don’t care about the country. They don’t care about the people. They only care about themselves. They have a sweet deal, and they are focused on their own sweet deal 24/7/365. There is nothing else.

You’ve got to go with your strong suit. Biden should have offered to sniff the hair of a Saudi princess.
That’s the one thing he’s good at.

Biden is a criminal dirtbag who belongs in federal prison.

Defeat every democrat on the ballot.

The amazing thing about Trump is there was a breath of peace and leaders respected him including the Saudi’s..maybe hated him but the respected him. Biden is just spit on and mocked as a soiled old man.

At home there was a wall built, 2 dollar gas.

He was trying to make America Great Again. The the pandemic lie and the “fortified” election and now...now you say MAGA you are the enemy of the government.

Why would the House of Saud care about Democrats getting elected?

They may have no interest either way in the infidel shenanigans of our our domestic issues, but a nuclear war anywhere would be bad for their business.

The Saudi’s are stick and tired of Slo Joe.

He is not an alley to anyone, so they all despise him.

Those Saudis don't understand nuance, do they?

Neither do I.

No one fears Biden.

Well, we Americans fear what’s going to happen to us because of his stupidity.

Other world leaders that is.

They have an interest all right. Its quite simple they hate democrats. They imposed the Irian deal which put them in a dangerous position. They took note of what the dems were saying after they killed the Museum Brotherhood fake "journalist".

They have a general hatred of girly men who support trans rights, abortion, CRT and just about everything the dems are exporting and polluting the world with. They simply can't deal with that level of evil and stupid.

What's not to hate.
