The question now is:
If we piss off 1 OPEC major player, do we piss off all of them, Killing 20% of our Oil Imports. What about Liberal Socialist Canada's (51%) and it dislikes of the USA .

BTW:
Saudi Arabia kingdom owns Motiva, America’s largest refinery, and ARAMCO took full control of Port Arthur, Texas, facility in 2017.

Either way, WE the US Citizens are screwed.

#3 Only found 3 mentions of this significant story all in Arabic media. The story references US media reports. I’m usually pretty good at drilling down to sources. Anyone have recommendations to either official US or Saudi statements on this? Thanks …

#4 Jerusalem Post report: The American attack on Saudi Arabia isn’t justified Al-Rai, Kuwait, October 14
US President Joe Biden formally launched the campaign against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by announcing last week that he is waiting for Congress to discuss sanctions against Riyadh. This comes against the backdrop of the recent OPEC+ decision to reduce oil production by two million barrels per day, and what was subsequently interpreted by Washington as indirect Saudi support for Moscow in its war against Ukraine. It is important to remember that, as we enter the midterm election season in the US, political flames tend to be fanned by American politicians.

#17 You can say that again, regular Joe. The Saudis and the rest of the non-Euros are dumping dollars now, swapping them out for yuan

Thank you, Brandon!

#19 ^^ just what I was about to say, Billy B.

It's like this administration has sworn to alienate America and push its allies and enemies all together in a bloc that works towards de-fanging the USA for good.

#20 ECB is raising rates
Saudis, Indians, other sovereigns are diversifying out of dollars
Europeans are begging Africans for oil and gas supplies
Saudis are joining the BRICS and will start using their alternative to SWIFT for settling trades

… means that the dollar is about to begin its long march downward. Just like the British pound a century ago

Well, we had a good run, didn’t we?

#25 The end of the petrodollar will result in far fewer foreign wars for Americans to fight in. Most of our wars are about upholding the petrodollar.

But don't worry. The CIA will be there with a color revolution. Just you wait. After all, overthrowing governments and killing people is what they are.

True. 77 years is nothing to sniff at.

But Sterling’s run came to an end and the dollar’s run is coming to an end too.

Yup. This one was supposed to crush the ruble. It ended up boosting the rubble and crushing the euro, and it is now setting in motion the dollar’s long slide downward.
