President Joe Biden was caught off guard when Saudi Arabia and Russia joined collectively to guide OPEC to chop oil manufacturing by 2 million barrels a day. After Biden’s fist-bump go to to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia over the summer time, he thought he had a take care of Mohammed bin Salman to extend manufacturing.
It is simply surprising {that a} Saudi prince with a passion for head-lopping, dismemberment and battle crimes would return on his phrase, no? The manufacturing reduce is suspiciously timed to happen proper earlier than the midterm elections right here within the United States. It is sensible — if I used to be an oil-producing strongman waging battles in Yemen or Ukraine, I’d be rooting for the Republicans, too.
I hate to say, “I told you so,” however I instructed you so, Joe. After a slap within the face that pulls Saudi Arabia nearer to Russia, provides additional cash to Putin’s battle coffer and undermines Democrats within the midterms, it feels like Biden could also be reconsidering our alliance with Saudi Arabia. (Although I wish to suppose that help for the non-insurrectionary political occasion is predicated on greater than the value of fuel, however, alas…)
