zio-Joe to humiliate America to benefit Israhell

[yankeedoodle]

We have the situation where the dictator in Saudi Arabia - Mohammed bin Salman - reportedly ordered the butchering of an American reporter, and zio-Joe pretended to be angry, but, to benefit Israhell - not America, not to get oil to benefit Americans, but to benefit Israhell - zio-Joe will humiliate himself and America in front of the world by visiting Saudi Arabia.

President Joe Biden entered the White House vowing to recalibrate US relations with Saudi Arabia after years of President Donald Trump shielding Riyadh and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman from punishment over the brutal murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Biden said Saudi Arabia would be made a "pariah" on the global stage and pledged to pursue a foreign policy centered on human rights — including by ending US support for the Saudi-led coalition in the Yemen conflict.

But with gas prices rising amid the war in Ukraine and midterms on the horizon, Biden is expected to visit Saudi Arabia later this month to discuss the escalating oil crisis. With the US and its European allies embargoing Russian oil over the war, the Biden administration is looking to Saudi Arabia to help blunt the impact of the sanctions on global markets.

The expected visit, which has been reported on by The New York Times and The Washington Post but has not been confirmed by the White House, is a sign that Biden has been forced into a corner and feels he has to prioritize business over ethics, foreign policy experts told Insider. By visiting the oil-rich country, the experts said Biden would effectively be declaring that maintaining friendly relations with Prince Mohammed — the de facto ruler of the kingdom who is often referred to as MBS — is more important than punishing him for Khashoggi's murder and other human rights abuses.

"A presidential trip to Saudi Arabia right now is going to be confirmation, validation not just that it's business as usual but that MBS got away with murder," Aaron David Miller, a former US diplomat who advised multiple secretaries of state on the Middle East, told Insider.

Biden Says Saudi Visit About Israel, Not Gas Prices
The President did not commit to a trip to the Mideast kingdom but said any visit would be about security, not energy

President Joe Biden answered questions about his potential visit to Saudi Arabia. Biden said that a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) would be about Israeli security, not energy. While Axios reported the trip would come in mid-July, Biden did not commit to making the trip.

Speaking with reporters outside of Air Force One on Sunday, Biden said, "It happens to be a larger meeting taking place in Saudi Arabia. That's the reason I'm going. And it has to do with national security for them – for Israelis." He continued, "I have a program, anyway. It has to do with much larger issues than having to do with the energy price."

The President did not commit to making the trip. Biden replied, "No. Not yet," to a question about finalizing the planned visit. However, Axios reported speaking with three Israeli officials who said Biden would be in Israel on July 14 and 15 before traveling to Saudi Arabia.

Biden has met heavy criticism for his planned meeting with MbS. As a candidate, Biden pledged to make Saudi Arabia a "pariah" state and hold MbS accountable for the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Since taking office, Biden has continued to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia and aid the country's war in Yemen.

When the White House first floated the idea of a meeting between Biden and MbS in March, oil production was at the top of the agenda. The proposed visit was met with objections from progressive Democrats and Republicans. Biden may now be attempting to downplay discussions with MbS about energy policy to reduce criticism.
