Blinken: Saudi Support to Ukraine Doesn’t ‘Compensate’ for Oil Cuts Supporting Russia
Breitbart ^ | 10/27/2022 | FRANCES MARTEL

Posted on 10/27/2022 2:09:36 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Secretary of State Antony Blinken appeared to walk back some of Washington’s condemnation of Saudi Arabia on the grounds that Riyadh was too friendly to Russia on Wednesday, crediting the Saudis for “positive developments” such as humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

Relations between Saudi Arabia, a decades-long American ally, and the administration of leftist President Joe Biden have deteriorated rapidly since Biden visited the country in July, awkwardly greeting Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman with a fist bump after vowing as a presidential candidate to turn his country into a “pariah.” The meeting went so poorly, the Wall Street Journal claimed this month, that bin Salman decided to cut a planned oil production increase in half after Biden requested the Saudi help inject more oil supply into the global market.

I think he meant to say “Doesn’t compensate for hurting DemoRATS’ chances in November”

The “oil cuts” were to hinder Biden’s political goals and embarrass him and show him as the complete idiot he is.

What equipment are they running out of?
I mean, specifics, type, model, numbers, and how is this relevant to other potential wars.

Trump went out of his way to develop a good relationship with the Saudi ruling faction. The Biden administration started out in early 2021 with open hostility toward them. That was unforgiveably stupid, and now everyone is paying for that.

“These idiots want to war with everybody.”

It really does look like the Globalists cannot understand that not every country in the world wants to embrace their Homoerotic ‘Lifestyle’.

The actions of the House of Saud are far less deleterious to the US than the House of Biden...

Seriously. Once again a self inflicted crisis caused by foolish policy. Play stupid games- win stupid prizes.

They effed this little Saga up big time and they are doubling down. There’s no need to say a single word about Saudi Arabia. Indeed, there was no need for any of this KSA nonsense. The capacity of Saudi Arabia’s oil production is known, and was known when Biden initially requested them to increase their production. They could not have done it had they even wanted to, they were already at full blast. It is simply astounding that either there is no oil consultant in the west wing, or if there is, that his/her advice was ignored. This was an easy minefield to have never stepped in. Really stupid, feckless, clumsy.

What about Biden’s “oil cuts” that made Saudi oil cuts more relevant?
