Brandon gets his ass handed to him by the saudi prince...no more oil for a "much-diminished president"...that's an understatement!
Brandon can't stop his incessant lying as the world knows he's an inept senile pervert. He should be honest and say that he shutdown American oil production and with hat in hand the saudis tell the senile old beggar to pound sand.
As the Saudi Prince RIGHTFULLY said:
“As an example, on energy issues, he came in with a policy to stop completely fossil fuel usage not only in the United States, but worldwide,” Prince Turki said. Now, Biden has a need for fossil fuel, “not only because of the Ukraine war, but also because of U.S. policy itself that shut down pipelines and stopped issuing….discovery of oil on U.S. soil,” Turki said.
He is a disgrace to America and the World!! Then he says this shit...
“We had a good discussion on ensuring global energy security and adequate oil supplies to support global economic growth,” Biden said. “That will begin shortly. And…I’m doing all I can to increase the supply for the United States of America, which I expect to happen. The Saudis share that urgency and based on our discussions today, I expect we’ll see further steps in the coming weeks.”
Notice that doesn’t say much of anything — it doesn’t announce any deal for more oil. There was no concrete step made — or he would have announced it. All he ended up saying is he hoped there would be “further steps” — which isn’t anything.
But the Saudis even crushed that, sweeping the leg out from under Biden’s claim, making it clear that there were no concrete “further steps.”
A joint statement after the event, released by Saudi Arabia, made no mention of oil supply increases but said the two countries “renewed their commitment towards the stability of global energy markets” and that the US “welcomed the kingdom’s commitment to support balance in the global oil market”.
Imagine having to trust Saudi Arabia’s take more than that of Joe Biden. But, their take is more honest than his.
In other words, this was largely just a performance by Biden to convince us he was doing something, and he was willing to throw all his prior words about Saudi Arabia and MBS away in the process. He was even mocked by the fiancee of the late Jamal Kashoggi.
Saudi Prince Turki Al-Faisal — who had previously served as head of Saudi intelligence and an ambassador to the U.S. — told CNBC that Biden was a “much-diminished president” compared with when he was inaugurated in January 2021.
“As an example, on energy issues, he came in with a policy to stop completely fossil fuel usage not only in the United States, but worldwide,” Prince Turki said. Now, Biden has a need for fossil fuel, “not only because of the Ukraine war, but also because of U.S. policy itself that shut down pipelines and stopped issuing….discovery of oil on U.S. soil,” Turki said.
That’s right on target, but it’s not good when you have the Saudis mocking the person we have occupying the highest seat in the land. That doesn’t help out national security interests or our standing in the world. But, it’s not going to get better until Joe Biden leaves office.
joeys is an embarrassment.
I deal with the disaster that is destroying America now you obsess with Trump...he has ZERO to with the disaster that is happening NOW...DUDE!! Why are you commenting on someone you have said REPEATEDLY you don't give a fuck about??
You don't fool ANYONE!! Facts are facts...deal with it.
Your response to the thread is WEAK!!
Why don't you refute the FACTS??
Just another one of your thread hijackings...
The real results of the Saudi meeting, this is just the energy stuff. A lot more went on.
New Cooperation on Energy Security: Saudi Arabia has committed to support global oil market balancing for sustained economic growth. The United States has welcomed the increase in production levels 50 percent above what was planned for July and August. These steps and further steps that we anticipate over the coming weeks have and will help stabilize markets considerably.
New Bilateral Framework on Clean Energy Cooperation: President Biden welcomed the signing of a bilateral Partnership Framework for Advancing Clean Energy, with new Saudi investments to accelerate the energy transition and combat the effects of climate change. This Framework focuses particularly on solar, green hydrogen, nuclear, and other clean energy initiatives. By building upon existing collaboration between energy experts in our countries, we seek to enhance our efforts to tackle climate change and advance greater deployment of clean energy resources around the world. The Partnership will leverage public and private sector collaboration to advance the deployment of clean energy solutions while accelerating research, development, and demonstration of innovative technologies needed to decarbonize the global economy and achieve net-zero emissions.
Trumptards are a disgrace.
LMAO! If you think Saudi Arabia gives a single fuck about global warming, or is going to “accelerate the energy transition”, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. The sheik’s like their gold plated Lamborghinis, they’re not going to cut their own throats by eliminating, or even reducing, their only source of wealth. Some people are pathetically gullible.
Having worked in Saudi Arabia in years past, I know that they do not respect weakness. President Biden is viewed by them as a weak man and weak leader. They see him as both physically weak, and lacking in influence; here in the US, with our allies, and personally under the control of his wife and surrounding handlers.
That they hold little or no respect for him is not good for the US as a nation.
The French have already said that Saudi Arabia has no further capacity to provide. They are running about as high as they can with production. It’s lack of refining at this point. No meeting was gonna make any difference in the amount of global oil.

You’ve got two years to find someone more acceptable, then.
And fuck the saudis anyway.
Fred Flintstone is more acceptable.

We are currently close to max refinery capacity. Oil prices are coming down which decreases raw material costs. Crude prices hit 123 3 months ago and they are hovering around 97 now. There are stations in south KC that are 3.80 a gallon.
