“[Trump]” has fundamentally weakened the Alliances. Biden will get them working again.“

Whether it’s domestic policy or foreign policy, crime or economics, anything that Joe Biden has pushed eventually turns to shit.

The latest is his visit to Saudi Arabia to beg them for more oil. A couple of weeks ago audio captured French President Macron telling Biden that the Saudi’s were close to their capacity production limits, something you would not think a US President needed to be informed of.

After resting at home in Delaware following that European trip Biden finally got to the Middle East, having originally planned to go there straight after Europe. However, his age and weariness meant a change of plan.

Starting with Israel things did not go well, with everything from appearing lost and confused on stage twice to having multiple gaffes that insulted US allies. But perhaps that’s the intention:

In other words, the Biden administration is using its trip to the region not to draw closer to Israel, or to enhance the Israeli relationship with the Saudis, but to disrupt the budding alliance between Israel and the Gulf States, while causing their hosts as much heartburn as possible.

Next up was Saudi Arabia, the nation he’d called a “pariah”, along with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) because of the Saudi’s brutal murder of Washington “journalist” Jamal Khashoggi. It should be noted that Khashoggi was a full-blooded supporter of the Jihadist group, Muslim Brotherhood, who have made clear their desire to destroy the Saudis, and that his poor written and spoken English meant it’s certain that others were writing his WaPo columns for him: the WaPo were idiots for getting so close to a terrorist.

In any case, the Saudi’s were quick to humiliate Biden.

Whoever told Biden to use that strategy doesn’t seem to get that fist bumping the guy you deemed a pariah and a murderer doesn’t look any better than a handshake, particularly when you’re all smiling together. Certainly Khashoggi’s widow thought so.

As expected, Biden lied about how he’d confronted MBS about Khashoggi’s murder. What Biden claims he’s said is not only denied by the Saudi’s but others who were present. It fits perfectly with Biden’s pathetic history of telling stories where he’s the Tough Guy. Even Peter Baker of the New York Times didn’t believe him:

Mr. Biden is by nature a storyteller with a penchant for embellishment.

So even though the leftwing corporate press is pretty sure the Saudis executed a fake “journalist” – when it come to a contest of credibility… they side with the Saudis.

Suffice to say Biden came away with nothing solid – least of all the increased oil production he so desperately needs to reduce US gas pump prices – and again, the Saudi’s made sure to broadcast their walk-backs and “corrections” of Biden’s post-visit claims.

So having talked of them as “pariahs”, then talked of repairing the US-Saudi relationship, Biden is now reduced to calling them liars.
