    1. To say we don't have oil is a false narrative. The Saudis are right. We went around shutting down all our refineries and now we are blaming everybody else for our gas prices being high. It's our fault. We need to stop playing this blame game and fix the problems that we created.

    2. This just shows how DUMB the Biden Administration's Energy Policies at home are. They don't want us drilling for oil because they believe drilling is bad for the environment and the planet, but, they have no problem depending on and downright BEGGING other countries like Saudi Arabia to drill MORE and produce more oil for us to buy. If drilling is bad, it should be bad EVERYWHERE in the world, not just here in America. This is why no one TRUSTS the Biden Administration or Democrats…the way they move…their policies, especially on Energy Independence, makes no sense whatsoever.

    3. Isn’t asking OPEC+ to delay oil cut production until after the midterm election is considered an invitation for meddling in the American internal politics?

    4. The US is a sinking ship, so it's abandoned by friends, nothing personal. My crystal ball says that next Germany will fold and make a deal with Russia. Then it's all over.

    5. The USA has the audacity to ask the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and OPEC+ countries to MANIPULATE THE WORLD GAS PRICES for their domestic non-relevant elections!

    6. Us- give us your stuff and make more of it!
      Them- no we're good. You'll get what we give you.
      Us- you better give us your stuff or we'll bring you some of our ballistic democracy.

    7. If this is new information for you then it’s time for some serious self reflection.
      “LOL, Trump lost!”
      ….and now we all have as this Administration has made an almost continuous stream of poor decisions and bad actions.
      ‘Are you better off now than you were two years ago?’
      It’s a real reach to say yes to that if you are actually paying attention.

    8. Please wait one month (after the election) before lowering production, not indefinitely. So, if Saudia Arabia won't do as Biden says US will cut off support. Does this sound familiar? What about Ukraine and Barisma. Another quip pro quo maybe?

    9. The fact that bin Salmon is as bad or worse than Putin by any Humanitarian standard, and that the U.S. sucks up to Salmon while he's bombing the civilians of Yemen while trying to play the hero against Putin while he's bombing civilians in Ukraine is probably the single most blatant example of ongoing U.S. white supremacy I can think of.

    10. Biden spent the first year of his presidency demonizing Saudi Arabia over the Khashoggi affair and trying his best to secure the Iran Nuclear Deal (which would be harmful to the Saudis).
      It shouldn't be surprising that the Saudis have no respect for Biden.
      If Biden wants to be pursue policies that hurt the Saudis, that's fine. But don't act all outraged when the Saudis hit back.

    11. That’s why as President, you actually take actions that help ordinary people to a great enough extent that things you can’t control don’t ruin your favorability.

    12. They're more concerned with election results and appearance than the American people. Biden's policies show blatant disregard for Americans and the country.

    13. Remember Saudi is very tight with Trump and Kushner, so they're probably talking to them and asked for a little help and they're happy to oblige
