The Biden administration and the Saudis are reportedly cooking up a deal.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Saudis will get nuclear capability, defense guarantees and a terrorist state inside Israel. And what will the United States get? Temporarily lower prices.
The Saudis are not offering to boost oil production to bring down prices as a favor to America, but to Biden. And it’s an election quid-pro-quo that may cost millions of Americans their lives.
After draining the strategic petroleum reserve ahead of the midterms, Biden has been unable to refill it because his environmentalist allies and the Saudis have kept prices high. The Saudis had rejected requests to lower oil prices for anything short of assistance in building their own nuclear program. Shortly before the Hamas attacks of Oct 7, the Saudis had offered to temporarily boost production if it would make it easier to sell Congress on a defense agreement.
Back then the Saudi deal had been portrayed as an extension of the ‘Abraham Accords’ and offered ‘normalization’ of diplomatic ties with Israel. Whether the Saudis were ever serious about normalization is debatable but since Oct 7, any such agreement has been conditioned on an internationally recognized.Islamic terrorist ‘Palestinian’ state affiliated with Saudi Arabia.
The current expectation is that a deal between Biden and the Saudis will drop the Israeli component and focus on a defense agreement and nuclear power in exchange for cheap oil.
Whether Israel is or isn’t on board, a Saudi nuclear agreement is a bad deal for America.
The United States is more than capable of producing its own oil. The only obstacle in the way of American energy independence is Joe Biden and his party who are determined to push ‘green energy’ that only makes us equally dependent on Muslim terror states and Communist China.
Nuclear energy could help solve our energy problems, but the Saudis, who are the world’s largest oil producers, certainly don’t need to go nuclear to fix any energy shortfalls. Nor do they care about the environment. A civilian nuclear energy program makes about as much sense for Saudi Arabia as it does for Iran. And the only reasonable argument for enabling the Saudis to go nuclear would be to counter Iran’s nuclear weapons program, but rather than averting a nuclear attack, that could double the risk and the possible vectors for nuclear armageddon.
The trouble with letting either Iran or the Saudis go nuclear is not just the direct nuclear threat, but the indirect one that will come from Islamic terrorists getting their hands on either nuclear weapons or materials. Saudi Arabia has made some progress under the MBS monarchy, including allowing women greater rights and backing away from some of the terrorist groups and movements that the kingdom has traditionally supported, and even purged some of the old guard who oversaw the Jihadi war against America (this led to Jamal Khashoggi’s death).
But the Saudis have always played multiple angles and there’s still plenty of money going to Islamist groups and terrorist organizations from the kingdom’s wealthy elites. Even if the Saudis were to truly clean up their act (an unlikely scenario since financing terrorism remains one of the most reliable power plays in the region), it will only take MBS being overthrown to change that.
Had the coup advanced by Jamal Khashoggi, Qatar and other regional players succeeded, the same political figures who financed Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups would once again be in control. A nuclear deal cannot be based on reforms implemented by one man and opposed by significant elements in the Saudi power structure. What happens if that one man goes?
Nuclear capability is a threat for generations. It should not be an agreement made lightly.
Biden is proposing to swap nuclear capabilities in exchange for the Saudis providing cheap oil for his election. The Saudis have made it clear that they can’t offer long term price guarantees which means they’d be doing little more than providing a temporary market fix long enough to get a presidential candidate his second term in in office.
After all the talk of impeachable quid-pro-quos, here’s one that could get millions killed.
Nuclear materials in the hands of Islamic terrorists is the ultimate nightmare and Biden is risking mass death, the destruction of entire American cities, in exchange for an election day bribe.
By emptying the strategic petroleum reserve to bribe midterm voters, Biden already dangerously endangered our economy and our national security. The cost of his illegal student loan debt bribes is already approaching an estimated $1 trillion and that may just be the beginning.
But there’s a big difference between stealing money to bribe voters and making a deal with an enemy nation that can cost the lives of millions. One is corruption while the other is treason.
The safety and security of the United States of America depends on keeping nuclear materials as far away from terrorists as possible. Biden’s proposed quid-pro-quo deal with Saudi Arabia risks putting nuclear materials in the hands of Islamic terrorists for his own political benefit.
That’s not a deal Congress should approve, it’s a deal that Congress could impeach him over.

Impeachable? Treason!
This piece of a man would sell anything and anyone
He has no love for the United States.. It’s all about him!
The bastards impeached Trump for making a phone call
Bkmk

There is no way that even the Biden administration would give nuclear power to the Saudis. Horrifying if true ...

BTW.. The voting block in this country is more and more Muslim.
Fundamental change.. He’s been busy there.. This is his goal..
My Lord in Heaven.. We can’t let it happen here. There is a way of life with a dictator.. There is a way of life under M, uslim rule. If you have no idea... Do research!!
Americans who have been free, would never go there. If it was forced... We’d have a war.
When the shaw was replaced in Iran, some years ago.. Women’s dress went from modern, to completely covered in dark darkness.
“There is no way that even the Biden administration would give nuclear power to the Saudis. Horrifying if true ...”
If the Saudis really wanted it, they easily have more than enough money to buy it from the NORKs, or black market sources.
America is doomed. More than obvious when a traitorous head o lettuce is actually in the running and likely to win re election...
Presidential Immunity!
It’s just been revoked!
Well. Looks like it is going to be a done deal, then.
“The Biden administration and the Saudis are reportedly cooking up a deal.”
reported by whom???
Never underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up.
Barack Obama
There shouldn’t even BE a “Saudi” Arabia after 9/11. That criminal family is only in charge because the U.S. and Brits out them there. We could have executed or imprisoned the entire ruling Saud family and made it our personal gas station and the world wouldn’t have done a damn thing about it, if Bush has harnessed American anger against them. Instead the Saudi stooge flew all Saudis to safety while we were still grounded, and attacked Iraq and useless targets in Afghanistan.
They’re just Americans. But illegals might get hurt!/s
Barry Sotero at work to really fundamentally change America....to dust.
Exactly.
Journalism today is making shit up and finding two imaginary sources to confirm it.
The Saudis are aligned with Russia. Period. Oil policy is not going to be defined to be anything other than support of BRICS and as elevated a price as is possible. Mohammed Bin Salman runs the place and has rejected the US as not being a partner that will advance Saudi Arabia policies.
