So Diplomacy is dead? Funny how when GW said, “either your with us or against us”, the “Progressives” went nuts. Now they are egging Biden on. Why?
The Saudis are not our friends, never have been. But that’s no reason to arrogantly try to push them around. (More flies with honey…yada yada yada). They have their own national interests. The move by OPEC+ is a sign they are expecting an economic downturn and do not want to be stuck with a glut of cheap oil.
We could save ourselves by drilling more and building refineries but that means ditching esg trends.
Nations don’t have ‘friends’ they have ‘common interests’ or don’t!
