They're Not Your Real Friends, Son.
- Ahead of President Biden’s trip to Saudi Arabia this summer, his aides thought he had struck a deal to boost oil production through the end of the year.
- Instead, Saudi Arabia steered a group of nations in voting to slash production, angering U.S. officials and producing accusations between the two countries.
American leaders have been left fuming in secret that that they were duped by the Saud leaders, American media reports.
All signs point to increased energy prices post-election, and a long cold lonely winter many. Tom Friedman lays out a long-range scenario, much like the guest on neocon Jonah Goldberg's subcription-only podcast weeks ago, where his expert predicted the Ukrainian-Russian conflict -- and America's financial backing of it -- will continue for years and years and years until more Russian bodies and Ukrainian natural resources are depleted...
Sometimes I wonder if the media hates Trump because it shakes up the Establishment politics too much.

Why in the world would the Establishment Lackeys want the American people to decide the business leaders in Washington, when it's easier to have leaders locked up and dancing whatever tune you play?
Why work democratically with the American people if everything from wars and immigration policies to loan forgiveness and work shutdowns are determined from Above? Cmon you're killing me here...

Riddle me that. Why are the most vulnerable of the American people gonna be suffering so badly this winter while we ignore the social problems that already exist today on our streets? Why?
Because we don't listen locally to those in the know, who call out when the prescription government relief does not fix the government-created solutions to the free market leavings. Our democracy already isn't working in America. if we overrate and overvalue those who try to leap over others and impose their failed policies from above.
Who told them they can do that? Same people who told them to trust in secret energy deals with the House of Saud.
Democracy works best when American citizens are in the drivers' seat, not the the richboy neocons who don't know to back the thing out of a garage and get her running again, and you know damn well won't be anywhere in sight when the vehicle crashes and people get hurt because of their actions in a car they had no business driving in the first place.
