OPEC tells a weak, incompetent US president to drop dead
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] At the very moment the Biden crime family administration
...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know...
was being convulsed by its humiliating strategic failure in Afghanistan, the international oil cartel and the adjacent producers known as "OPEC-plus" added insult to injury with their defiant answer. As Rooters reported it, the major oil producers (including Russia) let word slip that they "believe oil markets do not need more oil than they already plan to release in the coming months."

On the day Biden was elected, Brent crude oil was under $40 per barrel. Today, it is nearly $75 per barrel. Likewise, average gasoline prices are currently 48% higher than they were the day Biden squeaked out his narrow, no-coattails win over former President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
Biden’s request of OPEC, as we noted previously, evinced a belief that environmentalists in the United States are easily fooled — that he can placate them by restricting domestic production while simultaneously calling for more imported oil that releases exactly the same amount of carbon dioxide when burnt.

But the oil-producing nations’ response to Biden is also evidence of how much respect and diplomatic prestige he has cost the U.S. in the last week.

Biden’s gross bungling in Afghanistan, followed by his appalling attempt on national television Monday to blame everyone but himself, points to a president who has apparently lost touch with reality.
