A Saudi prince related to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's seemingly took aim at President Biden and the U.S., warning leaders not to threaten Saudi Arabia.
"Anybody that challenges the existence of this country and this kingdom. All of us, we are products of jihad, and martyrdom," Saudi Prince Saud al-Shaalan, who is married to one of the grandaughter's of the late King Abdulaziz Al Saud, said in a video that was posted to Twitter Saturday. "That's my message to anybody that thinks that it can threaten us."
King Abdulaziz Al Saud founded Saudi Arabia.
The video comes amid a time of unprecedented tensions between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, with the oil-rich kingdom leading an OPEC+ decision last week to cut oil production despite American requests to increase exports.
There's going to be some consequences for what they've done with Russia," Biden said during an interview with CNN last week.
In response, Saudi Arabia released a long statement of its own denying the decision was made to help Russia.
"The Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would first like to express its total rejection of these statements that are not based on facts, and which are based on portraying the OPEC+ decision out of its purely economic context," the Saudi foreign ministry said.

They need 100 dollar oil….
I don’t understand all the bluff and Bluster from Democrats, about consequences for Saudi Arabia cutting back oil production.
What exactly are we going to do? Are we going to impose some sort of sanctions on them to try to punish them for cutting back production? But if we do that would such an action really encourage them to increase production to make Democrats happy?
18 out of 20 of the 911 terrorists were Saudi. So what did we do? We bombed Afghanistan.
Good for the Prince.
G W Bush and Biden are equally stupid and criminal
Biden is the weak horse.
> I don’t understand all the bluff and Bluster from Democrats... <
Biden and his handlers act like it’s still 1945, and the United States can dictate terms to pretty much everyone. Well, it’s not 1945.
Biden is getting ready to issue an executive order banning US oil & gas exports. He want to ratchet up the tension with the Kingdom so that it will appear that he has no choice. Biden's people are dying for him to do it. He'll have the oil industry by the shorts.
Friggin idiot. He was around for and witnessed the ‘73 oil embargo.
Biden has raised screwing things up to an art form. He stands alone.
Obama is an idiot. Who knew?
Biden spouts what he has been told to, and then other
nations react. I don’t blame Saudi Arabia.
Hopefully when Trump gets back in, he can heal the wounds
that our Leftist idiots have inflicted.
At some point in time, other nations are going to have had
enough of Democrat administrations offending them.
They have a natural expectation that the U. S. will deal
with them in an adult manor. No nation is going to agree
with us 100.00% of the time.
We have to accept their decision, and keep our powder dry
for the next time we can negotiate.
Saudi by birth...but so what...The training camp was in Afghanistan...and Osama was there, too.
Biden just keeps hitting home runs...
Not that it matters, but I think it was 15 of 19.
The House of Saud is the best we’ll get in Saudi Arabia, just as Qadaffi was the best we would get in Libya.
I listened to one report by LTC (R) Robert McGinnis, US Army retired, who has worked at the Pentagon for basically 50+ years. He is a conservative, Christian man who stands for our side not the idiots in the Pentagon who are going roage. LTC McGinnis has been involved with China issues since Nixon opened the door. His mother worked for President Ford. Anyway, Bob said that China is really killing us around the world. Far East, South America, Central America, Cuba, Africa, some countries in EU do business with them. They are basically raping some of those low nations of their minerals, ports, animals (yes, animals. They have taken Samaura to town on fishing.
They catch some type of fish and turn it into basically powder and particles and spread it to feed another type of fish that they catch for food.) He has written a book on China and their mission in life to destroy the US military. China has the largest navy in the world. They stole a lot of our plans for ships and made their own. They now have carriers, but not like ours, smaller, and hundreds of other ships of war. He said they have run various missions about how much it would cost us in defending Taiwan. He said they figured one carrier, 12 destroyers trying to take the incoming missiles to defend a carrier as they run defense for the big boys. And several thousand sailors and Marines and others.
This is what the Biden gang has dropped us to. Low number of troops. Troops with very low morale. Weak training as they waste money on social events and crap instead of using it for weapons and training. We are in trouble if big stuff starts with China. We only have more nukes. Well, maybe. They have North Korea doing their biding on those.
The only leverage we have is to cut support for the Saudi fight in Yemen against Iranian-backed forces.
Biden needs impeached over his quid pro quo request from the Saudis.
