#Biden meets with the King and Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia # The meeting between Biden and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed MBS cannot be avoided, and each takes what he needs, and the virtual and the snake have reached the extreme.
The two sides have an agreement, that is, to meet when they bump into the fist to show goodwill, not the general handshake or elbow, let alone arm in arm.
The reason for the twist is that the United States and the West are determined that the crown prince himself is responsible for dismembering Khashoggi, a journalist who has criticized the Saudi royal family. Before taking office, Biden even threatened to make Saudi Arabia an "isolated country" in the international community, and his tough attitude was the same for a while.
When Biden swore an oath, he never expected that there would be a day when he would turn around and ask Saudi Arabia, and the person he was dealing with was this Crown Prince Mohammed.
International oil prices have recently risen sharply due to the war in Russia and Ukraine, and it is a very small number of "big households" such as Saudi Arabia that have the ability to raise the price limit.
In order not to let the face-punching effect ferment, Biden has recently played down the recoil of the Khashoggi incident, saying that he will not see Mohammed, but only "attend an international conference"
But some critics believe that this gesture of softening the fist is worse than shaking hands, because a light touch is equivalent to a write-off of the past, making the crown prince feel "intimate and comfortable", and also allowing Muhammad to get the long-desired "atonement".
Khashoggi's fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, taunted Biden on social media, saying that Khashoggi might criticize Biden in the Spirit of Heaven, "Is this how you promised to hold my killer accountable?" Your hands are stained with the blood of the next person he murdered."
At a public news conference, Biden continued to look for his "adherence to principles", saying that he pointed out to his face that the crown prince was responsible for the tragedy, but the other party responded that he was not responsible, and the people who should be responsible had already paid the bill. Chickens talk to ducks.
This scene is also expected, Biden does not seek results, just need to let the American voters know that he has worked hard for those things, and that is enough.
Similarly, it is also the logic of Saudi Arabia to increase oil, it does not matter whether Saudi Arabia actually grows or not, what he has to do is to show voters that he is running for this matter.
But Biden is essentially just doing his part.
He braved public opinion to question and visit Saudi Arabia, purely for practical considerations, for the sake of that set of "American hegemony" that is actually unsustainable, he will have to pay even the price of bowing to Saudi Arabia, after all, the strength of the other side makes the United States unable to ignore.
Saudi Arabia currently produces 11 million barrels of crude oil per day, and the United States wants to raise it to 12 million barrels. In fact, at the recent G7 summit, French President Emmanuel Macron has communicated with Biden, saying that the UAE's oil production has "peaked" and Saudi Arabia is also "running at a high level".
The latest claim is that Saudi Arabia will increase production by 750,000 barrels, the United Arab Emirates will increase production by 500,000 barrels.
However, this is already a big face for Biden.
For the flattening of oil prices, hundreds of thousands of barrels are a cup of water, but biden xingshi personally flew half the world, bitterly letting the other party have a drizzle.
Ironically, the average price of U.S. oil fell nearly 40 percent again due to the bleak global economic outlook.
Biden's legs are long, but flashy, and almost every step is wrong.
In his second year in office, if he could be re-elected, he would have left office at the age of 86. The leg is still that leg, and the brain is still good or not, it is not easy to say.
