An escalating feud between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia got even hotter Thursday in a tense back-and-forth over President Biden’s accusations that a Saudi-approved cut in global oil production was a gift to Russian President Vladimir Putin and a response from the oil-rich kingdom that it would not be bullied.
While analysts said the rare public animosity will not break deeper U.S.-Saudi security, economic and diplomatic ties, the strains in the relationship were evident after officials in Riyadh bluntly rejected Mr. Biden’s criticisms and appeared to suggest not too subtly that the American president’s primary concern was his short-term political interests and the price of a gallon of gas ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
The White House, lawmakers on Capitol Hill and private market analysts say the planned cuts announced last week by the Saudi-led “OPEC+” cartel of producers — equal to 2 million barrels per day — will effectively give Mr. Putin desperately needed extra revenues to finance his war in Ukraine.

From Pee Wee’s Big Adventure
Globally - across the globe - economists are signally many economies are in or headed to recession. Demand for oil will maybe be stable but mostly likely turning lower. As that demand os reduced, Opec is prudently - in its view - planning to lower production as well. If you are Oped it makes sense.
Biden has no counter, because he insists on making U.S. oil production lower instead of higher.
What he wanted to do with his green agenda is to get credit, with the greenies, for cutting U.S. CO2 emissions by deliberately lowering U.S. oil production and then increase CO2 emissions from all the foreign oil sources. But they are not cooperating with his sham agenda.
Stupid on parade
And they impeached trump for the exact same thing that president potato head is doing.
Let’s start a pissing contest with the Saudis.
It’s not like they’re holding anything over our heads right ??
“An escalating feud between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia got even hotter Thursday in a tense back-and-forth over President Biden’s accusations that a Saudi-approved cut in global oil production was a gift to Russian President Vladimir Putin and a response from the oil-rich kingdom that it would not be bullied.”
Biden should be removed from office for this.
Maybe if he threatens to withhold a billion dollars, they’ll fire the prince.
Ask Kahshoggi.
The Saudis know if Russian oil gets price capped their oil might get price capped too.
The Prince’s reply to jojos stupid comment on making S/A a pariah nation was priceless.......”Simply, I don’t give a damn.”
Riyadh appeared to suggest not too subtly that bidungs primary concern was his short-term political interests and the price of a gallon of gas ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm elections.......
They’re gonna F around and they’ll just cut us off for a couple weeks . . .
