The Cradle: Saudi Arabia will cut oil supply of nations that impose price cap: Energy Minister  

The Saudi official also criticized efforts by US lawmakers to pass the NOPEC bill, which would allow sovereign states to be sued in federal court 

 Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman on 14 March said that Riyadh will stop selling oil to any country that imposes a price cap on its supplies. 

“If a price cap were to be imposed on Saudi oil exports, we will not sell oil to any country that imposes a price cap on our supply, and we will reduce oil production, and I would not be surprised if others do the same,” the senior Saudi official said in an interview published by Energy Intelligence. 

Bin Salman stressed that price caps – whether imposed on a country or a group of countries – would lead to “individual or collective counter-responses with intolerable consequences in the form of massive volatility and instability.”

They have been acting independently for a while now, just before and after that reporter killing.

The so called reporter wrote agitprop for the Saudi government and was best friends with Obama bin Laden. He decides to break with the government and write agitprop for the Left in America. What do you think would happen?

The Saudis are more honest. they killed him.

In the West they take you to court and imprison you. You lose your job and become a pauper. You fade away. Same goal as the Saudis. It is just longer and has more deniability. It also may be more effective in that many other people see it and therefore fear it.

Biden said some harsh things about the Saudis in a 2019 Presidential debate;

"We were going to, in fact, make them pay the price, and make them, in fact, the pariah that they are."

Saudis have been moving away from us the day Biden got elected. What is ironic, Biden's energy policies have made the Saudis richer than they've ever been. Everything that aged clown has done has blown up on us.
