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.

Hmmmm...."aligning" sound very similar to "you are either with us, or against us". I remember back then the types who staff the White House were not happy with that sentiment.

[Dr. Sivana]

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.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Ha ha ha. Biden and the Dems got "October surprised"!

[Jonty30]

I cannot imagine what the US can do to limit foreign countries from controlling the price of oil worldwide.

I will have to think about this.

Obama was right about one thing : never underestimate Biden’s ability to F things up

[McGavin999]

They told him they were going to do it months ago. They gave him plenty of time to crank up US production.

[Rurudyne]

The Democrats should send a new transvestite diplomat to Saudi ... that will show them!

[EvilCapitalist]

So when anything bad happens to our illegitimate President, it’s Putin’s fault?

[WMarshal]

The idiot Biden is making friends wherever he goes.

[EvilCapitalist]

I think we should send Admiral Levine.

[dforest]

Payback because of you and your stinking globalist LWO regime is nothing but hell. We don’t deserve it, but Biden you do.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Biden and the Dems got "October surprised"!

I'm sure they think Trump called MBS and asked him to do it.

[Republican Wildcat]

The lack of respect the world has for Biden (and by extension, the United States) has nothing to do with Putin. The world is increasingly aligning with China/CCP - after Afghanistan especially, the CCP propaganda is ramping up that the United States’ days are the past, they (CCP) are the future, and it is best you side with them as the US is fading and will abandon you. Biden’s administration is an unmitigated disaster.

[NWFree]

If not for President Dipstick ruining our energy industry it wouldn’t matter what the ragheads did

[Apparatchik]

Of course, we will eventually run out of strategic reserve.

The Strategic Reserve is already at its lowest level since 1984.

Is there anything this idiot has touched that hasn’t turned to sh#t?

[frank ballenger]

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.

[ConservativeInPA]

I guess it makes no sense to economic morons that OPEC knows that it will make more money by cutting production. It also makes no sense to these idiots that by providing a stable energy policy and limited regulations in the US that we could be energy independent. That lowers prices, decreases inflation and increases productivity so there is no recession.

[cgbg]

It looks like the Biden charm offensive with MBS was a fail.

Next time you want a favor try not to accuse someone of murder first.

;-)

[dforest]

I guess that little fist bump and insult from Blinken to MBS didn’t hold much clout.

[nickcarraway]

There’s going to be a lot of cheating by opec, including by russia.
