    Why would they though? They profit just the same from the high prices.

      They want $100 a barrel. Russia is selling too much at say $90 a barrel. If the Saudis flood the market so it’s only $80 a barrel, it will really fuck Russia’s shit up.

      Saudis are hoping Russia starts playing their game with the price fixing.

      They need the houthis gone and Iran stopped, that doesn’t happen till Russia gives up.

      Russia is trying to set the middle east on fire to pull support from Ukraine, and the middle east is where the saudis keep all their stuff.

    Well, today I learned Russia is converting dinosaur juice into 6,200 disposable soldiers each month. That’s depressing as fuck.

      Are we still doing the Genocide Joe thing? I thought people like you had moved on to “Holocaust Harris” or whatever.

          “Until?”

          You’re hoping for a Trump victory?

          You like the idea of additional genocides on top of the ones already going on?

            They were illustrating that the morons who parrot “Genocide Joe” are either actively hoping for a Trump win by poisoning Democrat discourse, or are just that stupid they don’t understand how FPTP works and thinks that their impassioned plea for peace in Palestine will convince everyone to vote 3rd party as a monolith.

      Geopolitics is a dirty game. Most people wouldn’t have the stomach for it. Every world leader has blood on their hands. Let’s move onto more productive conversations.
