The "treats for blood" system might no longer be viable, folks. And it is not like we didn't enjoy the massive war crimes part of the deal, it is just that we want cheaper treats even more.
Also, it would be hilarious if the Saudis were overconfident and fell out of favor with at least one US political party.
I can't believe it's a real tweet by DC dem pol.
My take is Murphy thinks he comes across as super-sarcastic so it's not really a dig on the United States and our standard operating proceduere.
Edit
I guess libs think it's actually a dis on Trump. Somehow we are in this situation only because Orange Man Bad.
Context matters. Hate to defend Trump on this lmao. Prices were low and he wanted them higher in order to save the domestic drilling industry. Now prices are high and everyone wants them lower. Duuuuh
Who would have guessed that the worst people we could find in the region to arm would turn on us as soon as the winds shifted. Nobody could have seen this coming. Anyway, more weapons to Ukraine.
Who could have guessed that most countries, especially those ran by the worst people we can find, are nakedly self-interested, and will jump ship as soon as something better comes along?
Nothing was ever supposed to be better than having the US as an ally, I mean haven't you noticed how their economy grows and grows and grows and grows and.....
THIS IS HOW OPEC HAS OPERATED FOR DECADES, SINCE THE MID-70S AT LEAST

:antler-bernie: I am once again asking for DJ Khaled emotes :you-played-yourself:
china and russia has a higher demand for oil than the united states, the gulf states are simply following the money like good capitalists. :shrug-outta-hecks: dont upset the invisible hand deity, amerikkka
I would walk that back to just putting a black sun on anybody who supported or defended Azov after they found out that they were Nazis. If you think a black sun is a non-political symbol then you won't mind wearing it for the rest of your life.
Chris Murphy: "So you're saying the neoliberal realpolitik folks were played as suckers?"
:astronaut-1:
It almost seems like basing absolutely everything in our society around access to cheap fossil fuels was a mistake.
why is the leopard eating MY face? I voted FOR the leopards eating faces!
I await the day the US starts treating the Saudi "royal" family as the thugs they are.
