Not sure how long we have until Biden pivots towards the OILagarchs (sorry) but the fact that US troops are apparently being pulled out of the kingdom is like a dream come true. We truly live in a time of qualitative change. The world is shifting polarity faster than the US can keep up. These maneuvers by OPEC+ are such a game changer because it softens the benefits that the US is getting from the situation in Europe. Anything that infuriates the US like this has to be worth paying attention to anyway.
What’s crazy to me is that the liberal mainstream not only accepts the US threatening an entire group of countries for choosing to produce goods in their own national self-interest instead of hurting themselves by submitting to US demands, they actively cheer it on. While simultaneously denying such behaviour from the US could ever exist in any other respect (literally 1489).
I also don’t quite get how the US is fucking up this bad. Like they’re not just imperialists, they’re bad imperialists too.
