  1. Joining BRICS is the best thing MBS can do. He shouldn’t take insults lightly. What’s a pawn (Biden) to a king? Shut these fools down. I am so happy and hope he is offered membership. Boycott Zara!!!

  2. ‏Saudi Arabia is not obligated to listen to the statements of street homosexuals calling for an election phase. If there is a strategic relationship between America and Saudi Arabia, respect and cooperation should be its title, not accusations, threats, stopping the sale of arms and withdrawing weapons , Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia has become dealing with the mentality of children and street talk, and this is not appropriate for respected Islamic countries.

  3. Blumenthal; Are you crazy? The only reason ya’ll are mad is because your president got called out asking Saudi to delay their decision till after the November elections. Sleepy joe took out the Nord Stream, I hope he doesn’t pull another stunt like that with Saudi.🎃

  4. Democrats need to Stop the idiot's decisions we are not going to change to electric car. We need to Produce our own gas and not depend on others. Leave the Saudi Arabia Alone stop making more enemies. Trump 2024

  5. USA SHOULD DO IS TO STOP ARM SALE TO SAUDI ARABIA
    KEEP SUPPORTING ISRAEL TO KILL PALESTENIAN FOR WHICH YOU ARE DOING
    SUPPORT UKRAINE AND SUPPLY WEAPONS MORE TO ENSURE MANY ARE KILLED
    PLEASE CONFRONT RUSSIA DIRECTLY

  6. Trump made us oil independent .now you have made i us dependent on other nations blame your selfs democrats you have ruined American lives with your global warming moral high ground .

  7. Saudi arabia is the real face of terrorism, thier human rights are thrown in the garbage,
    Americans & western forces can take away that old stupid king in a minute,
    That monarchy should be replaced, by revolutions or whatever…
    Thousands of saudi asylum seekers in canada & usa & uk!
    This country should be really punished
    God bless america 🇺🇸🗽

  8. I think the EU should be a lot more pissed with the US than the US is with Saudi Arabia. Thanks for helping to put our energy prices through the roof, a lot of us will die this winter.

  9. Wow so Biden threatened to withhold weapons transfers unless Saudi Arabia agreed to help him in the midterms by delaying the decision….. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Where have I heard this one before????

  10. If we threaten them they'll probably stop sending us oil altogether and be aligned closer to Russia.

    Do any of these fights they pick have any forethought?

  11. Only America is entitled to follow its interests, and the rest do not have the right to do so. But there is a question. Why does America sell gas to Europeans at double prices? Why is it paying to prolong the war between Ukraine and Russia? Why has it closed the door to dialogue with Russia? It does not recognize allies and always seeks to create new enemies, so America only cares about its own interest, and whoever tries to deviate from its dictates, it makes a demon

  12. All of this would be irrelevant if Biden had simply allowed our domestic energy companies to continue drilling and refining our domestic oil and gas reserves. That alone would have enabled the Western Alliance to end their dependence on Russian energy, and without firing a shot, hobble Putin's attempt to take over Ukraine. However, in order to make good on Biden's idiotic campaign promise to 'End Fossil Fuels', tens of thousands of once free people are dead or injured, and we're standing on the brink of Nuclear War. The obscenity of our corrupt political elites here in "The Greatest Democracy in Human History", defies imagination.
