Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al-Saud.

The US set these sanctions up and used their control over Europe to force them to get on board.

Meanwhile, Europe is the one paying all of the immediate costs.

However, if Saudi gets off the US dollar plantation, this whole thing is going to come back to bite Uncle Sam right in his circumcised dick.

Saudi is already trading with China, the richest country in the world, in non-dollar currencies.

Reuters:

Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman warned on Saturday that sanctions and underinvestment in the energy sector could result in a shortage of energy supplies.

The European Union has imposed a series of sanctions against Russia, reducing Russian energy exports, and other Western powers have also imposed measures as they seek to further limit Moscow’s ability to fund its war in Ukraine.

In response to a question on how the sanctions environment would affect the energy market, bin Salman told an industry conference in Riyadh: “All of those so-called sanctions, embargoes, lack of investments, they will convolute into one thing and one thing only, a lack of energy supplies of all kinds when they are most needed“.

The prince did not specifically mention Russia in his remarks. He said Saudi Arabia was working to send Ukraine liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which is most commonly used as a cooking fuel and in heating.

Asked what lessons had been learnt from energy market dynamics in 2022, Prince Abdulaziz said the most important one was for the rest of the world to “trust OPEC+“.

“We are a responsible group of countries, we do take policy issues relevant to energy and oil markets in a total silo and we don’t engage ourselves in political issues,” the prince said.

The US basically believes that because every other currency is pegged to the dollar, they can just do whatever the hell they want.

They’re leaving the Europeans to freeze.

While it is true that the dollar serves as the basis of every other currency, this is not something that is necessarily static forever – particularly if China puts forward a digital yuan backed by either gold or energy.

They still have a long way to go, but if Saudi is on-board, things become a lot easier.

Saudi Arabia isn’t obligated to produce more oil because the US told them they wanted them to produce more oil. Saudi, at least in theory, is an independent country that can make their own decisions.

Moreover, there are various reasons why Saudi would not want to produce more oil. Maybe they like the price being high, because they then make the same amount of money while having to drill less?

Seeing a Russian conspiracy in the decisions of the Arabs is very Jewish.

RT:

US Senator Richard Blumenthal and Representative Ro Khanna have accused Saudi Arabia of “colluding” with Russia in the Ukraine conflict by cutting OPEC oil production quotas, supposedly to boost Moscow’s energy revenue. The two high-profile Democrats called for weapon sales to be cut off to punish Riyadh.

“America shouldn’t be providing such unlimited control of strategic defense systems to an apparent ally of our greatest enemy – nuclear bomb extortionist [Russian President] Vladimir Putin,” Blumenthal, Khanna and Yale business professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld wrote on Sunday in a Politico op-ed. They added that they will propose Senate and House legislation on Tuesday to immediately halt US arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

Bluenthal and Sonnenfeld are both, obviously, Jewish. Khanna is a bitch-made house nigger Indian.

He was supposed to be an anti-war Bernie Sanders supporter, and I think he’s even been on Tucker Carlson. He apparently got blackmailed.

When they say “our greatest enemy,” they mean the greatest enemy of the Jews, not America. Russians never did anything to me or my family, and they’ve in fact been very kind.

On Monday, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez also called on the US government to freeze all aspects of its cooperation with Saudi Arabia. “There simply is no room to play both sides of this conflict,” he said, adding that he “will not green light any cooperation with Riyadh until the Kingdom reassesses its position with respect to the war in Ukraine.”

Menedez might as well be Jewish after having gotten caught up with underage hookers in the Dominican Republic back in 2013.

He says they were all of-age, but the feds/Mossad can get him fired just by releasing videos of him with young-looking hookers in Dominican. Even if they were over-age, Americans get jealous of politicians with the money to go on sex tours in the Caribbean.

He’s totally owned.

Congress is such a joke.

At issue is OPEC’s decision last week to cut the oil production of member nations by 2 million barrels a day, a move that oil-producing countries attributed to rising interest rates in the West and a slumping global economy. With the US inflation rate near a 40-year high and congressional midterm elections approaching next month, President Joe Biden had urged Saudi Arabia to help push down crude prices.

Blumenthal represents Connecticut and serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee, while Khanna is from California and has a seat on the House Armed Services Committee. The lawmakers said some members of Congress had previously proposed halting weapons sales to Riyadh, but those bills didn’t pass. “Due to intense bipartisan blowback to Saudi’s collusion with Russia, we think this time is different,” the op-ed said.

The OPEC production cut was a “pointed blow” to the US, the three authors added, arguing that the oil cartel had never before reduced quotas amid such a tight supply-demand balance in crude markets. “There was no immediate need for Saudi Arabia to reduce supply unless they were seeking to harm the US to the benefit of Russia.”

…

Blumenthal and Khanna said the US would rather keep its troops in Saudi Arabia, than let Russia or China fill the void. They argued that the kingdom’s alleged support for Russia “should spark a far-reaching review of the US-Saudi relationship.”

There could be something to the theory that Saudi Arabia is “supporting” Russia. They are not actively supporting Russia, and there is no proof that their decision not to increase oil output is anything other than what they say it is, but we have seen Saudi lose interest in their alliance with the United States over the last several years, and begin to cozy-up with China.

That said, there is no benefit to Saudi in increasing output, so it is possible they are acting purely on their own interests, and simply uninterested in doing any favors for the US.

The basic fact is that the global order is shifting dramatically right now, with China becoming the most significant world power. We are now seeing a lot of countries doing favors for China in preparation for positioning themselves for better treatment from the world leader in the future.

Saudi Arabia is an Islamic country with no allegiance to global vaginal and anal values, and they have demonstrated that they are getting tired of having these things forced on them by America. The US Secretary of State, Jew Antony Blinken, has stated that every time he talks with the Saudis, he encourages them to do man-on-man anal with each other.

If nothing else, the Saudis are surely getting tired of hearing about the glories of man-on-man anal from these Jews.

If the US was actually grounded in reality, they would be trying to use the carrot, rather than the stick, to deal with Saudi Arabia. They appear to be totally delusional about their level of power right now. If Saudi joins the BRICS nations and starts refusing to trade in the dollar, the US currency is going to collapse. That’s what they should be trying to avoid, rather than further provoking the Saudis about this oil drilling issue.

A lot of people on earth are sick of being told what to do by the Jews.

So, one of the first things the Joe Biden presidency did was shut down a bunch of oil pipelines. They claimed they were doing this as part of a grand scheme to change the weather.

This was very obviously going to lead to a rise in gas prices. That was actually the purpose of it – to force people to drive less by increasing the cost of driving.

But I guess they decided they went too far?

Reuters:

The Biden administration has asked some of the world’s largest oil consuming nations – including China, India and Japan – to consider releasing crude stockpiles in a coordinated effort to lower global energy prices, according to several people familiar with the matter.

The unusual request comes as U.S. President Joe Biden fends off political pressure over rising pump prices and other consumer costs driven by a rebound in economic activity from lows plumbed early in the coronavirus pandemic.

It also reflects U.S. frustration with members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies who have rebuffed repeated requests from Washington to speed up their production increases.

“We’re talking about the symbolism of the largest consumers of the world sending a message to OPEC that ‘you’ve got to change your behavior,'” one of the sources said.

In Asia, where China said it is working on a crude release, oil prices extended declines prompted by the U.S. request, after settling on Wednesday further below seven-year highs struck in early October.

Biden and top aides have discussed the possibility of a coordinated release of stockpiled oil with close allies including Japan, South Korea and India, as well as with China, over the past several weeks, the sources said.

The US and allies have coordinated strategic petroleum reserve releases before, for example in 2011 during a war in OPEC member Libya.

But the current proposal represents an unprecedented challenge to OPEC, the cartel that has influenced oil prices for more than five decades, because it involves China, the world’s biggest importer of crude.

A Japanese industry ministry official said the United States has requested Tokyo’s cooperation in dealing with higher oil prices, but he could not confirm whether the request included coordinated releases of stockpiles. By law, Japan cannot use reserve releases to lower prices, the official said.

A senior cabinet official declined to comment.

China’s state reserve bureau said it was working on a release of crude oil reserves although it declined to comment on the U.S. request.

A South Korean official confirmed the United States had asked Seoul to release some oil reserves.

“We are thoroughly reviewing the U.S. request, however, we do not release oil reserve because of rising oil prices. We could release oil reserve in case of supply imbalance, but not to respond to rising oil prices,” the official said.

The U.S. share of any potential release of reserves would need to be more than 20 million to 30 million barrels to affect markets, according to a U.S. source who participated in the discussions. Such a release could be in the form of a sale or a loan from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve – or both.

Along with closing pipelines, there’s been a general attack on electricity usage, with the Democrats hopping up a totally discredited hoax claiming that using electricity changes the weather.

Again, this energy crisis is quite literally happening because of the Democrat agenda to make this precise thing happen.

Here’s a chart showing how US oil reserves have dropped below the ten-year average under Biden.

If they didn’t want this to happen, then why did they purposefully cause it to happen?

Well, they seem to be incompetent to the point that they cannot competently create crises on purpose.

The energy crisis is a repeat of the border crisis (on a much bigger scale). They came in with these kook ideas, and immediately implemented them, and created crises.

Before the Biden took over, AOC said she was going to shut down all fossil fuels and replace them with mysterious technologies that don’t exist yet in 12 years (now about 10, I guess).

They had to have known that shutting off pipelines would create a gas crisis, just like they had to know that announcing the border was open would create a border crisis. But I guess they didn’t know how big of a deal it would be? Maybe they thought they had more ideological support?

I don’t even know, frankly.

I don’t understand how they can be doing anything they’re doing if they care about public opinion in any way at all.

But calling on CHINA – the great enemy of Our Sacred Values of Gay Anal Rimjobs (Who We Are) – to release reserves in order to fix a disaster in America shows that they are definitely regretting what they’ve done.

Firstly, let me just say: the death was exactly like that in Charlottesville: a female driver panicked when she saw the mob of protesters and hit the gas.

And no one is accusing the driver of being a high-gas-price-sympathizing terrorist. Interestingly enough.

With that out of the way:

Every time I see mass protests about some shit that doesn’t matter I’m like “EYYYYY, COME HERE – You gonna protest this?”

There are not any protests about IMMIGRATION.

Or even faggots or women or any of the other BASIC CORE SOCIAL PROBLEMS.

Even after terrorist attacks, no one will protest Islam. They do “vigils” and “pray.”

RT:

At least one person has died and almost 50 others have been injured as around 124,000 people protested against soaring fuel prices throughout France. Police used tear gas to stop demonstrators on the Champs-Elysees.

Starting from the early hours of Saturday, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of French cities to express their discontent with the policies of President Emmanuel Macron and the French government’s recent decision to raise fuel prices through additional taxes. Protesters blocked roads across France, disrupting traffic in many areas as well as blocking access to gas stations.

Most of them are wearing yellow vests – the symbol of a popular movement and umbrella organization behind the protests.

Police also cordoned off some roads to prevent more protesters from joining the blockades in Paris and elsewhere, RT’s Charlotte Dubenskij said. People, however, kept coming. “Gasoline prices never stop rising. It’s the straw that broke the camel’s back. Macron and his buddies just let… things go from bad to worse,” one protester told RT.

…

One protester died in a road accident in Pont-de-Beauvoisin in the southeastern region of Savoie when a panicked female driver ran over a woman after protesters surrounded her car and starting banging on the hood. Two more people were hit by a car and one of them suffered serious injuries in the northern city of Arras and were taken to the hospital, according to local media.

Nobody likes high gas prices.

But look: that’s a small percentage of your living expenses, it’s a small percentage of the total economic expenses.

Imagine you got rid of all of these immigrants living in France on welfare – that would be hundreds of times the money saved of whatever this gas price increase is.

ALSO

Why are you protesting gas prices?

Who are you protesting against?

OPEC?

The government generally has a standard taxation policy on fuel, so the reason that gasoline prices change is due to global economic factors, in this case those factors would relate to Saudi Arabia.

Maybe they should be protesting for a regime change in Saudi?

That would at least be funny.

This is just dumb.

The French and Europeans are always doing these massive protests, but I have never seen any single one that was about any single thing that actually mattered.

I guess the pension protests mattered more than gas prices.

But again: get the immigrants out and the economy stabilizes to the point where you’re not worried about pensions.

France is an Islamic shithole.

The country is over 20% nonwhite and all of those people are sucking money out of the economy in more ways than one.

Get your shit together, France.
