It’s hard to understate how poor Trump’s Iran policy is going

"of Iranian origin" doesn't mean it was deployed from inside Iran. We'd have to bomb ourselves anytime one of ours is killed w/our own weapons. Not saying Iran is not funding proxy cells...this was to be expected after Trump goes out and killed Iranian generals.
Saudi Arabia exports 6% of its oil to USA
Saudi Arabia exports 26% of its oil to China
Why wouldn't Saudi Arabia join with China, Russia, Iran and use Yuan to sell oil
We tell the Saudis that they are a criminal state every chance we get.
What does the USA have that makes Saudi feel they need to be loyal to us

Attention Cuddle,Mercor does have a point here.This is why I said The US has to drill for oil,we shouldn't be so dependent on those scumbag Saudis.
Disloyalty to The US loses not only The US as customers,but every US allie in NATO,under The USs nuclear umbrella, every country that depends on The US for thier economy,miltary weapons and US miltary protection.Russia is selling its oil at a 40% discount to China and India because those are the only major countries that will buy it because of US sanctions,Saudi Arabia doesn't want that to happen to them.The Saudi's also don't want to be cut off from US weapons.Remember they gave Kushner 2 billion in part because of Trump approving a huge weapons package to them.

China would love that. Under the sanctions The US has on Russia The Saudis only major customers would be the same as Russia's,China and India.China would play Russia and The Saudis against each other for oil cheaper than the 40% discount they are getting now from Russia.And The Saudis would be taking that shitty ass manipulated Yuan as payment.
which is why I said every extra barrel drilled in the US should be deducted from a Saudi purchase. It does nothing for the uncukening if overall demand increases and we don't shift load to renewables/nuclear.
I fully support spending whatever we need to spend to shift to renewables,but until that happens oil is needed.As much as I hate The Saudis I understand why The US needs them,not to supply The US,but its allies when The US tells Europe to stop buying Russian oil or if The US tells them to stop selling oil to China via sanctions which helps keep China from giving weapons to Russia or invading Taiwan.
