Strained relations with Brandon….because he’s a moron
It’s a sign of the end of the Uni-Polar Global American Empire, using the Petrodollar as it’s backbone. Meaning: you needed dollars to make petroleum purchases.
The Saudis were the other part of the Petrodollar, going back to Kissinger and the Nixon era, when the USA closed the gold window.
When the Saudis bolt the Petrodollar, it’s game over.
That’s why the 101st is in Romania, and all the rest. It’s a desperation try to preserve American hegemony, at least over Europe, by force.
It’s the mother of all Thucydides Traps.
If your country wants to burn fossil fuels for energy, it listens to Russia and Saudi Arabia.
If your country wants to spend (at least) 5 times as much on energy via wind/solar/batteries, it listens to the Globalists (Davos).
Pretty easy decision for virtually all non-Western countries.
I’ve been to Dubai (right next door to Saudi Arabia) several times. One of those visits was in October. The heat was like an oven,very different than what you’d experience in Florida.OTOH,my January visits were quite comfortable. I just can’t see any place in that region being a resort...at least not between March and November.
So where do I move my widow’s mite?
We are so screwed.
The good thing about our fossil fuels. They’re still there. Pray for sanity and new leadership then drill baby drill.
What would happen if the oil and gas industry just ignored the presidential pronouncements and started producing and refining?
The scenes showing Borat's home village were filmed in the Romanian village of Glod, which is primarily Roma.

Dittos. At the end of the third quarter all the E&P boys were saying we’re not increasing capex next year no matter what the price of oil is, meaning they could see where sleepy Joe was headed. The current prices and the rig count reinforce that sentiment.
The meeting and face of Power is in Riyadh. The money is in the UAE
Europe is eclipsed as the center of power and money by the foolish Biden attempt to force Riyadh to save his sorry ass.
The future is east of Suez
Spent 20 years in the ME...and it can get a tad warm there...lol.
Then there are the March winds...
I heard a comedian once talking about the heat in Arizona. He said that it’s described as a “dry heat”.He then says “my oven’s a dry heat too but I don’t go sticking my head in it”.
The spending, the burning of bridges, fomenting war, and the SWIFT action all hurt the US.
Global power is shifting.
Does that equate to sandstorms in March?
Yep... something to see when the storm is heading to you.
I’ve only seen pictures. I remember seeing a pic when I was young and I thought it was fake.
Yes it is, and it’s unstoppable....unless there is a global war to burn everything to ashes, including all the bad paper debt.
Looks like a huge wall.
