File under: Govt of Saudi Arabia

#1 Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman shouted at Biden's NSA Jake Sullivan when he started talking about Jamal Khashoggi and said he would not help the U.S. by pumping more oil when they met in September

Everyone remember come Mid-terms the LSD's know we have plenty of OIL waiting to be pumped here in the USA. But they have taken every opportunity to halt pumping, refining, and delivery of it.

Under their "RULE" Gas has gone from $2.12
to $3.69+ a gallon, Food prices have gone up 1/4 to 1/3 in cost and our dollar is worth 8.54% LESS than a year ago.

But the LSD's solution is IMPORT other Nations' costly OIL, where there are FAR LESS Environmental protections and a 100x's greater likelihood of Oil Spills, Environmental Pollution in the delivery process

It also seems they could care less about driving up US Gas, delivery, and Food prices. ALL OF WHICH are seriously hurting the lower-income working wage earners?

So IF we vote based on facts and our wallets and not their politically spewed BS, they are no longer in control come 2024.

#7 Talked around who is in charge and led with Kashoggi?

Wow.

To those new, this is the team which called for up to and including the dissolution of the Saud Government over the death of their, uhem, "News Associate".

Perhaps a bit butt-hurt that Saud's SNL skit with Brandon had Kamela actually competent? That's what I was laughing at. Hardball, gonna play some hardball. Yeah hardball. Hardball.

#8 How Not To Do Diplomacy or, Exercises in Futility

Lecture and insult the Chinese in your very first meet & greet

Destroy any remaining influence you might have over OPEC and oil price stability through pointless insults directed at your only Arab ally

Encourage a puppet regime to demand the impossible - surrender of Russia's most important military base and membership in NATO - and then walk away, refusing to deter the puppet regime's enemy or even pay any attention to him

Leak your classified intelligence all over the world - but refuse to engage with the president of the country that is threatening an invasion

Insult all the other major nations you need to persuade to join you. Call their leaders "shaky" when they declare they'll do what's best for their people

Destroy the world's economy and make your own people poor as a means of getting back at your adversary

#9 ^^^ Excellent summary of the Biden Administration's foreign policy so far.

#10 I believe most people would do the green thing if it is not overly expensive and probably do better in the long run than knee-jerk green solutions that just create the next environmental problem.

I'm confident we'll do alright when the green movement is humiliated and made a pariah for a century or more and can't wait for that to start.

#11 It's certainly a good summary of the Moscow line, not that I have any sympathy for Biden.
