Rep. Ro Khanna is calling for the White House to retaliate against Saudi Arabia if OPEC and its allies slash oil production in a bid to boost prices

[basquebromance]

Yeah, retaliate by becoming energy independent. An energy independent United States is an economic powerhouse the rest of the world cannot contend with. It’s also more peaceful.

I thought Rep. Khanna was against fossil fuels and would welcome less production to fight climate change?

In any event, embargos against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are stupid, encouraging other countries to meet the demand would be a better solution

Joe, who killed US energy production, should retaliate against Saudi cutting oil production by....? Outlawing oil production completely in the US?

He's not going to try to make the US close to energy independent by increasing US energy production.

Maybe the Saudi kingdom sees demand for oil sinking due to the Biden's Economic Malaise, and wants to avoid a glut of both black gold and Texas Tea?

Just another clueless Democrat with a stupid suggestion.

Exactly. These Democrats - who love to bring the hammer against US fossil fuel companies - lose their shit when the foreign sources of fossil fuels they DEPEND on, cut back on production.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to control what you can control in your own backyard in terms of oil production?

The crazy thing about Khanna's dumb ass suggestion is that Boeing and Raytheon cutting the production of airplane parts will actually hurt the overall economy and vindicate the Kingdom's forecast that the economy is declining and probably cause further reductions in oil production.
