• Way to go Joe....dumbass

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 18 23:08:32 2023
    Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest crude oil exporter, is open to discussing oil trade settlements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, Saudi Minister of Finance, Mohammed Al-Jadaan, told media outlet Bloomberg in Davos on Tuesday.

    I think Obama underestimated Joe's ability to f' things up.

    Trump was able to inspire the Sauds to raise oil prices, so that's not
    really true.

    Trump was trying to keep prices in the sweet range that would maintain development and supply which would keep prices from spiking in the future. That's too complicate for you...and Joe.

    A giveaway to the oil industry? Not that complicated. And it didn't keep
    prices from spiking in the election year.

    It gets more complicated when you throw in the record profits oil
    companies were passing on to stockholders while foregoing that
    development maintenance.

    No, I think I got it. Here's the big oil mouthpiece take:

    https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/493614-the-world-can-thank-president-trump-for-the-oil-deal/

    "The U.S. energy industry won’t recover overnight, but the Saudi-Russian deal, brokered by Trump, may mean we will still have an energy industry
    to revive."

    Another view:

    https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/trump-oil-price-deal-inside-story

    "For the past month, Saudi Arabia had pumped every possible barrel for
    sale at rock-bottom prices, punishing Russia for refusing to support
    deeper OPEC+ output cuts in early March. Now, Moscow and Riyadh will
    both reduce daily production by millions of barrels, spearheading a
    global agreement between almost all the world’s major oil producers to
    rein in output."

    Looks like he bailed out big oil and the Russians, too.

    (snip the whataboutism under Biden)

    If you call Biden unique, whatabout is a legitimate response.

    What you said was to blame Biden for the actions of the Sauds. Too bad

    My view is super cheap oil provides an opportunity to eliminate some
    production as it reduces the incentive to exploit every drop.

    "Biden has been in office for over a year. In terms of foreign policy, he must not only demonstrate that he is more powerful than Trump in China and Russia policy,

    Can't say he did that at all.....he failed to keep Russia in check and endorsed German dependence on Russian gas.
    Since the war he's pivoted....but his first months failures can't be ignored.


    but also demonstrate that he is more logical and adheres to “rules” than Trump."

    Trump recognized the "rules" weren't yielding results. That's just stupid silly talk.

    The Germans had committed well before Biden was in office.

    The failures in which he was given credit for keeping NATO and the EU unified against Russia?
