Just when it looks as if it couldn’t get any worse for Biden’s handlers, it has finally emerged why Saudi Arabia decided to cut back its oil supply to America: “In August, the Saudis had planned to push OPEC+ to raise oil production by 500,000 barrels a day in an effort to please Mr. Biden, but Prince Mohammed ordered the increase lowered to a token 100,000 barrels a day after the Biden visit, the people inside the Saudi government said.”
Biden needs to save taxpayer dollars that are wasted on his travels, and stay hidden away.
In addition, even as Biden stands accused of trying to lead America to nuclear war over Ukraine, Zelensky appears to have sided with the Saudis. Zelensky has also “spoken to and ‘thanked’ Mohammed bin Salman for aiding Ukraine,” with $400 million in humanitarian aid. Compare that to the billions from American taxpayers. Another international slap in the face to Biden.
Recall that under Donald Trump, America had made significant progress toward calming tensions in the Middle East via the Abraham Accords. Trump also managed to deter Putin.
“Zelensky Backs Saudi Arabia After Joe Biden Condemned Riyadh as Pro-Russia,” by Frances Martel, Breitbart, October 17, 2022:
Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman pronounced himself “astonished” by the barrage of attacks from the Biden White House last week accusing Riyadh of siding with Russia in the eight-year-old invasion of Ukraine, citing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s kind words towards the country as contradicting Washington.
Tensions between leftist President Joe Biden and the monarchy of Saudi Arabia had been increasing for months, even in the face of Biden visiting Riyadh, greeting Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and effectively returning Saudi Arabia to polite geopolitical society after a diplomatic freeze followed by the gruesome murder of Islamist Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi at the hands of Saudi embassy employees….
“In August, the Saudis had planned to push OPEC+ to raise oil production by 500,000 barrels a day in an effort to please Mr. Biden,” the newspaper claimed, “but Prince Mohammed ordered the increase lowered to a token 100,000 barrels a day after the Biden visit, the people inside the Saudi government said.”
“Look, it’s clear that OPEC+ is aligning with Russia with today’s announcement,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said following the early October production cut announcement….
The Saudi government expressed shock throughout the past week in response to the accusations, noting that it had maintained communications with Ukraine and kept neutral in the European conflict.
A week before the OPEC production cut, both the governments of Russia and Ukraine were thanking Mohammed bin Salman for his alleged role in brokering a prison swap that released hundreds of soldiers on both sides – and Americans who were captured fighting for Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared to take the Saudis’ side in the conflict, despite billions in military funding from Biden, with an announcement on Friday that he had spoken to and “thanked” Mohammed bin Salman for aiding Ukraine….

I wonder how much of the $400 million in “humanitarian aid” will actually go to the Ukrainian people?
somehistory says
milo, what is the lowest number wo which one can go?
Just like food, medicine, and other things delivered in cases of calamity lie on docks to rot and be consumed by rats, these funds will go to rotten rats. that’s how the pa creep, abbas, has become so filthy rich.

I’m missing your point. Accepting financial aid and arranging a prisoner swap makes the Ukrainians liars and thieves? Are you just assuming that the leadership will steal that aid?
somehistory says
I don’t “assume” things. I rely on deduction and knowledge of the way things usually go with politics and those who have proven themselves not to be honest in all things.
Most politicians are greedy…in the business to make all they can before the public votes them out or they reach term limits. And they are known to say what they believe the public wants to hear and will swallow like a thirsty beer drinker consumes a miller or bud.
Rarely says
So you are presuming, in light of your “deduction and knowledge”, that any aid money that goes to the Ukraine will be “scooped”? Rumour has it that the Ukraine has its share of corruption, to say the least, so you may well be correct. Nevertheless, that is hardly the point of the article.
somehistory says
well, rarely since I still have freedom of speech to say a little of what I think, I don’t have to copy and paste things from the “article” nor to refrain from making other points that, to me, are relevant.
I made a simple statement. Liars and thieves are not loyal. they lie to advance what they want or to keep from facing the consequences of their actions or other things said. and thieves steal from others, even other thieves. those are simple facts that even some idiots know to be true.
and so the ukraine guy will praise, thank, side with, etc. anyone he believes will further his goals.
he sees the saudis have oil and are willing to supply other nations who have not offended them and have some money to spend.
he sees biden begging the saudis for oil…at least until other dems keep their seats in government…and cutting U.S. oil production.
he isn’t loyal to the government that has taken taxes from the American citizen who may be struggling to buy a tank of fuel in order to drive to work, etc.
he spoke to the un in sept and was trying to get the U.s. to go to actual combat with russia…didn’t he even mention nuclear in his demands?
so, you can do the math.
liars and thieves are not loyal.

I don’t see their actions as being grateful for help from SA as being anti US or stabbing anyone in the back. Nor does it mean that they are any less grateful to the US.
The Ukraine is fighting to keep from being a puppet state to Russia. That doesn’t mean that they wish to be one to any other country either. Is it not reasonable for them to accept help from wherever it is coming and be grateful for it — keeping in mind that they are fighting for their existence?

Are you a Islamist leftist troll who supports Biden. Russia is corrupt so is Ukraine. Just because the leftist narrative of him as a good leader doesn’t mean it’s true

I can assure you that I am no islamist leftist. I’m not an American so it doesn’t matter who I support in US politics. However I do think that Biden looks like an old man who got in over his head.
There seems to be a lot of evidence of major corruption in Ukraine. Zelensky seems to be a pretty good leader but, as always, history will be the judge. In any event, thanking Saudi Arabia for aid money does not mean anything at all other than he’s being polite (and maybe hopes for more). It does not show he supports SA or that he is ungrateful for US’s support.

“According to a joint U.S.-Canada air defense group, two Russian Tupolev Tu-95 “Bear” bomber aircraft capable of transporting big payloads over long distances were intercepted as they flew over Alaska on Monday.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, NORAD ( North American Aerospace Defense Command ) stated that two Russian aircraft were detected, tracked, positively identified, and intercepted as they entered and operated within the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). The Federal Aviation Administration defines ADIZ as a region of airspace over land or sea in which the identification, location, and control of every aircraft are necessary for national security.
The command stated that it employs a combination of satellites, ground-based and aerial radars, and fighter planes to monitor aircraft within the zone and that it is prepared to use a variety of reaction options in defense of North American and Arctic sovereignty.”

How is thanking Saudi Arabia for arranging a prisoner swap and providing $400 million in aid a slap in the face to Biden?

“…..lowered to a token 100,000 barrels a day after the Biden visit, the people inside the Saudi government said.”
Have mercy, I busted out laughing so hard, after I read that! No one should be surprised at this incidence, and usually it could weeks or months, for two countries, to start not liking each other, or one country getting SO furious, that they might either say something harsh, or use some act to get the pressure off of them, or get even some how.
Oh, but this is the hilarious part…it only took….ONE DAY, ONE MEETING,to know, right off the bat, that there is something wrong with that man! And Obiden was SO bad, that they feel that not given Obiden hardly any oil, is the way to go.
I’m sure they saw and heard everything that Obiden DID, and SAID, and they must have realized, that they needed to distance themselves, from THIS ignorant, evil, psycopath, that all one had to do, to have some amusement, is to tell him to roll over and play dead, or go retrieve that ball, and he’d jump at the chance, like a good doggie would, lol.
And make it known, throughout the Saudi family, that this is the end of ANY relationship with him!
I can’t wait to see if I’m right!
Obiden, I believe, just took his last trip to THAT country. I wouldn’t doubt it, or be surprised, if they felt like, they’d be WAY BETTER OFF, if that “man” never showed his face around there, again!
