  1. Sorry to give you bad news!

    1.The very same people who pushed Biden to visit Saudi Arabia, are going to argue that "withdraw our troops from Saudi Arabia and the UAE." is not going to alter the oil supply, and it may even make it worse.!

    2. The Big Corporations that are the beneficiary of American military presence in Saudi Arabia and UAE, are not going to approve of such conduct, and may reduce or eliminate the Bribes (Campaign Contributions) to the Democrats.

    3. The Saudi and Trump Crime Families have forged an alliance, as reflected by MBS providing Billions to save Jared Kushner's failing real estate holdings. In fact, Trump had predicted at his most recent rally that the price of oil and gas will be higher than ever before…!!!..And his prediction came just before the official statement by MBS to cut the supply of oil.

    4. Of course, Russia and China play a role in all of this. But from all indications, the primary reason for such conduct by MBS is the unholy alliance with the Trump Crime Family. It is clearly intended to help the MAGA Morons to win seats for the house and senate, and cover up the criminal conducts of Don the Con.

  2. Our reserves are low, this president is going to drive us into energy blackout, everyone get yer pitchforks.

  3. Goodbye gas car's 😭

  4. Domestic production is the answer.. joe doesn't know the question…

  5. What a sh*t show. Biden is such a failure and joke. He can't leave office soon enough. Laughable that he thought he had something to do with oil prices going down, yet says prices going up was not him? Riiiiiight

  6. I cut back drastically on driving ever since the war started. We all do our part and America stays #1 🇺🇸

  7. We have to be careful with Saudi, as they and OPEC could decide to embargo oil to us completely. This would cause a royal catastrophe, in every way. Why does this crap always seem to happen just before Winter?

  8. pump our own oil. WTF!! why pay it to someone else that supports terror

  9. Time to nationalize our oil reserves also i heard the Saudis have WMDs we need to bring them a little American freedom.

  10. Good. We could be self sufficient with everything but that would make to much sense. Hope we all rot.

  11. For the ones saying stop giving Saudis weapons. Dears, you r not giving them away. You are selling them. We are paying for those weapons. Hello!!

  12. Democratic reforms? The US backed a self-proclaimed president who the people did not elect. Should Nicolas Maduro and the people of Venezuela accept this? 

    If the US want oil, but it, but stop meddling in the internal affairs of Venezuela.

    Haven't the US learned its lesson yet?

  13. America only has themselves to blame. Start being bossy and nobody will want to play with you anymore and that’s exactly what’s happening.

  14. Just remember Biden sold the strategic oil reserves to China and now can’t fill them back up 😅

  15. Saudi Arabia, our pals since 9/11.

  16. Fist-bumping the leader of Saudi Arabia and Sunnis worldwide was an insult. I mean, Obama bowed to him, and now a fist-bump? They see arrogance and weakness so they act strong, where's the surprise?

  17. In Washington state we are still above $5 a gallon! When did it go down????

  18. Hopefully the u.s. and the Saudi's and many other countries come to a strong personal agreement to get back the proper control over the Oil system.

  19. I would have thought that after 9/11 we as Americans would have learned that Saudi Arabia is NOT our friend or ally. But that's just me.

  20. Glory to ukraine 🇺🇦

  21. Start u.s. govt drilling and production! Supply it to americans at a penny over production costs per gallon!

  22. Whoever made the reduction is the OPEC Plus countries, and it was a unanimous decision from many countries

    Lying is a crime against the American people
    Perhaps Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman will expel your announcer because of your false media

  23. Go electric. Do it faster. Put oil companies and Arab and Russian petro mafia out of business. Green New Deal baby. They are petrified the phrase

  24. We increase or decrease the production based on our needs
    Not for you , not for Russia
    We do whatever we see is right
    So stop crying and get more wood

  25. "Drill baby Drill", Mr. President, if you let the US drill, you may win relection by reducing energy prices, stabilizing inflation, bring more high paying jobs, all by Christmas.

  26. It seems like after Trump and now with Biden, the US has lost influence and preference with the world.

  27. Water on middle east bible prophecy

    I————saiah 37:24/25
    24you sent your officers to insult the Lord.
        This is what you said:
    “I took my many chariots up the high mountains
        deep inside Lebanon.
    I cut down its tallest cedars
        and its best fir trees.
    I have been on its highest mountain
        and deep inside its forests.
    25 I dug wells and drank water from new places.
        I dried up the rivers of Egypt
        and walked where the water was

  28. Dumbest decision was to sanction Russian oil

  29. 1. No more weapons to Saudi Arabia
    2. Long since time we start going green in a serious way

  30. Craps gonna hit the fan soon

  31. Begging adversaries for oil when we have our own 🤦🏾‍♂️ this administration is a joke!

  32. Saudi strong 🇸🇦💪🌍💪🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🌍🌍

  33. Hahahah blame it on Saudi
    Gas has been skyrocketing all thanks to Biden

    We have sooo much oil here in the USA 🇺🇸 But Biden crippling economics are screwing the American people

    F Joe B

  34. America bullies all the world but when it comes to Saudi Arabia they think 100 time before any response. That shows you economy power is a stronger tool than military ! It's hard for US to acknowledge that if it's not for Saudi ,they wouldn't last long on the top of the world but deep down they know.

  35. Jesus is coming soon! Repent!
    Jesus loves you very much he died for our sin on the cross.
    Religion doesn't save us. The only way that can save us is Jesus Christ alone. He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. He loves us very much and He is real

  36. USA needs to be self sufficient also in manufacturing from Communist China.

  37. Lift sanctions on Iran who supplies Venezuela then you'll see better results 🏌‍♂️

  38. They did this because they hate Biden and the western woke culture.. They want all these ppl voted out of office… so they put pressure on these pathetic woke governments.. who have made all the wrong decisions.. Now when the ppl begin to suffer more they will be to blame and votes will be made against them.. Brilliant.

  39. Do you people understand? Trump allowed the Saudi's to take over 100% of the largest refinery in the US in Texas. Between 2016 and 2017 . LOOK IT UP!

  40. Americans living in Europe can't understand why Americans living in the US are complaining.

  41. This is a self-inflicted wound since everything we need is in our own backyard.

  42. We should cut our security

  43. This is the Saudi Princes way of flying the middle finger to Joe Biden.

  44. “We’re going to make them pay the price and make them in fact the pariah that they are, there’s very little social redeeming value in the present government in Saudi Arabia”

    -PedoHitler

  45. A quick question, why not Canada? It is the third in the Oil Reserves by Country category

  46. Thank the Democrats for high gas prices!! Keep voting Democrat!!
