The United States is producing between 12.2 and 12.3 million barrels of oil per day and if price dictates it, domestic production will increase.
That’s gonna leave a mark...
This is what neocon/neoliberal administration’s has led to:

Saudi Arabia grows closer to Beijing with step toward membership in China-led security bloc
3/29/23
And it can’t be said to be an aberration when Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Belarus won’t send weapons anymore to Ukraine, Germany says no more help to Ukraine, over 2/3 of the world is buying Russian oil, so many nations want into BRICS, and on and on.
quick - build some more windmills!
Meh! We can make that up in................ Oh! I musta forgot the excellent bidenomics plan. Guess our “friends”, the Saudis, are helping wean us off fosdick fuels eh?
Of course he will, by selling what remains of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China.
Meanwhile, the Saudis are being smart businessmen. And while they may deal with the USA in US dollars (for now), they are preparing for the post-America in dealing with others.
Vegehead should be running to the Arabs hat in hand any day now begging them for more of their oil we wouldn’t need if he hadn’t crippled America’s production. The next thing Mrs Hubbard will do is try again to tap what’s left of our strategic reserves only to find that the cupboard is bare.
Of course the dementia patient will then go straight to blaming greedy oil companies for high gas prices... because that is what sleezy incompetent democrats always do.
They cut barrels last year. They cut barrels the year before. Rinse and repeat. Even Mexico was supposed to have cut barrels to punish us for something or other because, I dunno, maybe taking in 99% of their rabble.
Sounds like the Saudi government, like most governments in the world now, are PUTIN PUPPETS. In this case, the Saudis are causing prices to rise, no doubt after being told by PUTIN to do it.
