Economically, Saudi is at the stronger position compared to USA. Actually US dollar lifeline is depended do much on Saudi. However, US is not the only Saudi friend. In fact US is a BAD and ungrateful friend. Saudi has been a savior and life support for US dollars for nearly 100 years. Its an urgent for Saudi to distance it self from USA economically, politically and militarily
The TRUTH is USA is a modern PARIAH states with around 30 trillion dollars debt and begging for rich countries like Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Taiwan, Singapore, Kuwait and others to pay for its Illegal war everywhere. Its high time for this donors to continue paying USA SIN.
Lets go to USA and see for yourself,; how millions of US citizens are living at the streets, under he bridges and in vehicles. How pathetic !!!
CNBC needs to ask the US govt and the West if they’ve weaponized their currencies and economies by launching sanctions unilaterally.
Oh, wait…
America is the type of the country that doesn’t say gg to their friends who won at their own geopolitical games. America they do be desperate to be on top. Even in an exchange of the destruction of others.
is grandpa using businesses as a weapon?
US which always used OPEC as it’s sidekick for its diplomacy got it’s taste of its own medicine. For US it’s always they are humans rest of the world is their slave
For years Middle East economy is suffering for low oil price then covid.But US can buy more debts and write off when ever it’s not payable.
Hey…journalist..ask US, why they need NATO???
Humm, what we’re missing??? Obama tells Medvedev he will have “more flexibility” after election. Now President Biden (Obama Earpiece) telling Opec+ hold off on the oil cuts till after midterm elections? Lest we forget, again, then V.P. Joe Biden Admitting Quid Pro Quo in Ukraine, before Obama’s reelection?
Sad, how quickly we forget. Or as Obama’s hate America Pastor Rev. Write say, them chickens have come home to roost. Sighing, thank you, Lord Jesus. Selah
The Lord quickened my mind to this similitude above, and by His Holy Spirit, affirmed it by His Word inspirited in the Apostle James saying the following:
Chapter 1:
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Amen
Saudi’s, in the OPEC +, know exactly what’s the MO (Modus Operandi) of SObiden, as does Russia i.e., President Soros to President Obama to President Biden (earpiece).

🛢️ Vs 💵
💵 Vs 💣
Only one country who carry dollar and weapons
Think for few seconds.
We Arabs have an enemy called Iran, and the idiot Biden supports this enemy and threatens the security of the Arabs and Israel, so we will not give oil to a stupid person. We want Israel, even if Saudi Arabia and Israel cooperated in bombing Iran and destroying Iran’s nuclear reactors, in order to bring peace to the Middle East.
When dollar is a weapon, swift is a weapon, why shouldn’t the oil be a weapon? The world is sick of the American hegemony..
This journalist forgot that her nation has endangered other nations endlessly. Taste your own medicine.
Isnt biden with draw the drilling permit,kill the key stone pipeline,and now he is screaming about cut in oil production!
why is the reporter so aggressive and unpolite? i wouldnt even give a sh it to that bi atch lol
Never bite the hand that feeds you OPEC. Good luck!
“OPEC is trying to hold the world hostage”
This solo statement shows the degree of self entitlement that exists in the West. They think West is “The World”.
Damn right lol bring on energy
America wants its own gain and the loss of others.
You wanna buy bullets, it comes at a price. You want to buy oil, it comes at a price… luckily oxygen doesn’t come at a price… right?!
Biden needs to go back to Square One and consider MBS as a pariah, assassin, and human rights abuser.
Who saved your ass Opec time and again and put your oil well fires out if it wasn’t for the USA they would still be burning and your Rolls Roce would still be camel back.
China stoped its gas to the west to have an enough reserve for the upcoming winter …
America can’t dare say to china increase your proudction and make it cheap ..
America just shows it’s muscules on weak countries ..
And they say we like to respect peoples choices..!! No you dont
“stunning and brave” ? She is just an arrogant women
WMD bullshit all over again.
Was expecting a longer one…
For the brutal totalitarians of the wreckage of democratic reform, the United States should be able to announce and “exceptional” execution of the beheading task, which I think most Americans should accept.
Just like waht EU and US do to the Russians..you sunction any countries that do not kneel down to you interests..
Saudi think twice do you like Libya & Iraq😂
Does America want another Vietnam or Afghanistan?
Oil not for only
America 🇺🇸 and major power counties
Oil for consumers around the world
Africa
Asia
South America
Europe
Thanks….. opec + ,use this energy power
To stability…well done
world war ll experience.
“Are you using enery as a weapon?”
Saudis: no we are using it for $$.
Simple as that.
Dont get butthurt if someone wants to get rich.
Meanwhile murcia uses weapons as weapons.
Joe Biden cartel is holding America hostage
That saudi prince threatening jihad. They r 3rd rate. We had them with trump. Our strategic reserve is nothing. We need to open up to other non opec countries. Then end it with them. Jihad waaaaay overrated. Especially for non religious reasons.
What is up with?the headwear. Especially in?doors. Always seemed to me to be some kind of psych thing. And how about that saudi prince!, thinking he can orchestrate SUCCESSFUL jihad with one press conference. Someone sure has a high opinion of themselves. Nobody cares about Saudi Arabia. They think they are the center of the arab world. They r not
Plenty of countries around the world care about Saudi Arabia. In case you haven’t been paying attention, various countries and regional groupings have recently hosted Crown Prince MBS as a highly honored guest with the understanding that the Saudis will step up relations with them.
Stupid question.
Dont be hypocrite…why u want buy from country u call t3rr0r1s..many country opec and opec+ is muslim country..are dont worry we will use that money buy weapon..now u know who have power.🤣🤣🤣🤣
We have oil..what u have …we dont care who are..go cry to your dad nato…😂😂😂
Prepare u all can start using horse back…🦄🤣🤣🤣
Sanctions are indanger in the market
ITS MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN THOSE INHUMAN SANCTIONS.😖😖😖😖
Based Saudi Arabia
OPEC is supporting Russia, keeping prices high, it helps Russia make more while selling less.
Cancel all sale of military equipment to the Saudis let them defend themselves on thier own.
Looks like Saudis are about to get the taste of democracy and freedom….
That laugh says it all!
The answer is yes. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know. Too bad no one expected this lolol
US should just invade Venezuela like Russia does Ukraine and have done with it. Who can stop them?
It is not like rich countries today can just go to resource rich ones and take away everything they need and pay whatever they want. That attitude sounds really entitled.
Dollar 🤣🤣🤣🤣
America use everything as weapon . As soon as they have issue with some one they start saying that 🤣🤣
I never saw people around the world moching America and there garbage media as this days
(Phone ringing)
One of members of OPEC: Yes who is it?
Joe biden: Got any oi
OPEC members: *end call*
High prices should spur new production and that’s how a free market is supposed to achieve balance. Where is the new production? And what does that tell you about what’s actually being manipulated here
Remember Biden wanted to stop oil drilling !! Stop fracking ! He’s getting what he wanted 😂😂😂
US weaponizes every thing from techs, chips, democracy, right-this-and-that, trades, tariffs, finances, FOOD, OIL, etc. YES, FOOD & OIL are basic items of HUMAN Right.
US is HYPOCRITICAL & ARROGANT to max degree.
US can set the forest fire but outlaws anyone to light a lantern.
USA Is over bitches 🤧🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
shut up, the US has its own oil it has even shut down Venezuelan oil. now which is evil?
Whilst the west use finance and petro dollar as a weapon
So what if they are using energy as a weapon, so is the US with its energy policies. This coming from CNBC who uses every everything as a weapon to destroy democracy.
A woman with 🏀🏀! Finally someone putting a mirror in front of these guys!
USA is the cause of this situation, they put embargo on Iran and Venezuela , reject the oil pipeline from Canada which at the end reduce the total oil produced in the market and give OPEC the upper hand, just remove embargo on Iran and Venezuela which will add some millions of barrel to the market which will lower the price and will push OPEC countries to increase production to offset the reduction in the price because at the end they need the same total revenue to survive, that what happen few years ago.
Tell Her nothing!
Mind Your own business! 😁
Opec one of the most dangerous and ruthless cults colts of all time. Are dangerous and pisces in the position of Pope. A million times more they have unlimited amounts of oil they can bring out of the ground at any sad time Is raising inflation by 10 fold every year Then in turn raising everything else the same amount making them richer cause they’re invested in all that s*** let’s be on
Yes life has a price in the world has a price too put a price on the world that’s how much the price on their head is worth
You think about it all of our problems boil down to that little problem that we have with energy and not being able to be dependent on our own by making air vacuum engines and water engines instead we pull s*** from under the ground which we have no idea the impact on life at all but we’re bringing up billions of gallons more than there are people in the world
It’s the most common sensible thing you could ever imagine but everybody just has their finger up their butt cause they’re a 100 shares of Exxon might is none might make them poor . Time to start being an individual like God intended you to be
Stop working for companies that are destroying our nation’s killing people And throwing your beliefs in the garbage
Saudi oil is depleting thats why they want the oil price hike
اذا هم ربحوا صار السوق امن واذا خسروا قالوا السوق مهدد بالخطر ياسلام
Well Done OPEC
dumbass and naïve question…. it’s a CARTEL, as she well knows. They are here to make money, and they don’t care about anyone else. Every country will do what is best in their interest. In this case, the U.S and OPEC countries have conflicting interests.
When will Musk buy youtube.🤣
When saudi cut oil, US say saudi is using as a weapon
If saudi increase oil as per US request, isnt that weaponizing US towards its enemy?
Taste of West hypocracy
It’s called capitalism. Eat your own medicine b!-tches. Saudi is sovereign country.
how DARE you set the price for your own natural resources?
Superb response.
Next US administration either Democrats or Republicans will come and kneel down in front of Saudi Arabian crown prince and will ask forgiveness for what they said and done to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦.
Take my word. Definitely this will happen no doubt. God almighty the great.
This report is giving the reply and asking the questions. No more hanky panky with the current Saudi Leadership. Keep this in mind.
And why she don’t question about us army on Syrie juste to stool oil direct from…..
Ist US weaponise Doller currency and occupieng all the world by militarylilhh..to treaten soverginity. And make conflict.!?!??!?
Fuck them I’ll do it myself 🇸🇦
“One time I smoked marijuana in band camp”
OH STFU 🤫 U FANOIKAS
This BIXCH is a re re
opec is a cartel but potus thinks he can dictate production and price quotas to opec? are you regretting blowing up nord stream yet? whats this BS about the petroldollar? why does a commercial transaction between saudi arabia and china have to involve the american currency?
We need to cut ties with Saudi Arabia. They got wealthy because of the United States and when the United States and surrounding European countries need help, they turned their backs on everybody. Instead, they want to support a war, criminal and a murderer that is disgusting.
Pls do cut ties. Didn’t you know that they strengthened your currency? Now they have many options, while you people keep starting one fight after another.
OPEC is very important for ARABIC countries.
Smart answer from the 🇸🇦Saudis folks
Please…at this point there is only one administration that’s causing oil shortages. It’s Called Bidenflation
we are people bro
Is she asking security and stability for free,.. she is interviewing to pass the information to globe…is she doing it for free….
First must ask US, does it use the same tactics like USD, Trade Embargo, Sanctions, Technology banned with national security excuse, media smearing, assassination, military might bullying and many more to gain upper hand, submissions and benefits. Not feeling easy now when on the receiving end.?
Why not? When USA 🇺🇸 can weaponise US Dollar why not OPEC?
She called OPEC as Cartel since she is from Mercenary Nation the USA, period.
When a printed paper such as US dollar 💵 or Euro 💶 can become a global weapon why not the fuel on which the whole world 🌎 runs?
You cannot fill and run a vehicle with US Dollar but with Fuel…. Yes anyone can.
Why IS OPEC A CARTEL, AND MONSANTO OR BIG PHARMA, NOT? This is what racism looks and sounds like.
Why not ? The USA is using the reserve dollar as a weapon ….why shouldn’t other countries fight back using whatever leverage they have as a weapon ….?
Why are so many people so easily offended by everything nowadays?
Because they’re arseholes with no sense of humour nor tabboo open mindedness and probably a really boring lack luster person to hang out with.There’s nothing about being offended thats wrong i find some things offensive but instead of turning into a massive snowflakes throwing a tantrum and reporting and getting someone canceled or banned (because that’s a childish pathetic immature way to handle a situation) i call the person out and explain and if so exchange verbal blows as I known u can dish out three times as bad as I’m given if someone annoys me. Once I’ve expressed myself if the person doesn’t care or listen and are to toxic to see anothers point of view i just block them out my life and move on and leave it at that.
Theres being offended speaking freely and resolving an issue with someone then there’s being a little baby about it and crying the victim card I personally hate people like that they destroy freedom of speech and they ruin the ability to be open minded and speak as you desire without worrying when the next toys out the cot sessions from them is coming.
Alot of people use this offended rubbish as a way to become some sort of special privileged person who can now exploit the offendee and this in the end does nothing for them if then person who offended doesn’t care and ignored lack of reason by walking away so the offended cries even more and reports you for having opinions, being realistic or whatever really.
Sad truth is we live jn a world where fake is becoming the new normal and anyone who’s oldskool, blunt and direct and real is considered either offensive or wrong and judgemental by the same people who do not realise what they’re doing in return is wrong and judgemental but worst.
These fake people really need to just get over themselves and grow up and stop throwing tantrums over such trivial rubbish they could easily ignore or simply just unfriend or block the person because the worlds got more important things to deal with than a snowflake ego like poverty, famine, climate change, wars, world hunger, pandemics etc.
The person being offended is worst than than the offending if they then choose to pursue something left in the past.
I dont get offended by stupid things like swearing, having an opinion etc. I don’t always agree and say when i know someone’s talking crap to me but it doesn’t offended me it more just bores me and kills the conversation.
People who are real are way much better and much more healthy to be around they may say harsh truths and strong facts and get real without question but hey at least you know where you stand with a real person and that isn’t on eggshells.
The best people are the tabboo free spirited open minded so called offensive ones that are actually just honest and true.
Everything has a prince. Welcome to the real world USA
The rest of the world is fed up with the US and her allies and their propaganda media!
