Blinken: OPEC+ decision to cut oil production is disappointing and short-sighted

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken spoke about possible retaliatory actions against a number of OPEC + members due to the decision to reduce oil production.

In particular, they spoke about considering a number of options for action in relation to Saudi Arabia, which, obviously, Washington has not been able to convince to meet halfway.

According to Blinken, the main thing the United States is guided by is its national interests, which they are not going to infringe in any way. However, he apparently forgot that the OPEC + decision is also the national interests of these countries. And it is not clear why they should give up their interests for the sake of American ones.

Recall that on Wednesday, 23 oil-producing countries included in OPEC + decided to start a significant reduction in oil production from November. Blinken called the decision "disappointing and short-sighted". The dissatisfaction of the West, led by the United States, is understandable - not only does this exacerbate the energy crisis, but also plays into the hands of Russia. Now the West will have to forget about the upper limit of the price of Russian oil.

According to ABC News, due to the announced OPEC + reduction in oil production in the United States, they are already preparing for a likely increase in gasoline prices and, accordingly, for all related operations, primarily transportation. And the increase in gasoline prices effectively nullifies all the measures that the Biden administration has taken in recent months to adjust prices. Such an economic incident before the elections to the US Congress.

Against the backdrop of the decision to impose a price ceiling on Russian oil in Europe, the question is already being asked: will it not turn out that this ceiling will be too high. For example, at $120 per barrel...

And the war in Ukraine is becoming a very expensive pleasure for freelancers. I have the impression that they are suicidal.

Europe pays for the war for everyone and the United States and us and Ukraine. That's who is the suicide.

With Ukraine, they somehow didn’t succeed.
But mattresses have a win-win option to save the situation, this is to turn to two virtual non-presidents of two virtual non-countries - Guaido and Tikhonovskaya, who will flood them with the same cheap oil as their show-offs.

And for Mr. Biden, Blinkin and hedgehogs, it may also be the "straw that breaks the camel's hump," the DEMOCRATIC one. In the next elections.

Well, firstly, shale oil is good for gasoline, but not very good for the production of oils, fuel oil and diesel fuel, and secondly, I don’t believe in their shale revolution, it exists only by robbing other countries, the same Syria, Iraq, Libya

Yes, I don't believe in shale either. But the export of oil from Syria continues. When they exported more, they promoted shale oil. Regardless of green energy and ecology. And now they get less, so they are silent about this Revolution. But they do have their own deposits. Save, save, or something

Well, comrades of the US Regional Committee - for every trick, there is a trick, a threaded bolt.
Not only the hegemon of the United States to play lower prices.
Some OPEC+ countries
have learned to play on the rise in oil prices.
Further it will be more interesting.

[orionvitt]

Ahty ahty. How many beeches and meanings. I'm happy for them.

[Charik]

So with their bombs - bombs, you know, amateur ones, lucky the Emir of Qatar that they didn’t let them go to a meeting somewhere, they could have been accused of something and thrown into prison in a geyrop.

[Alexander 3]

What can Blinken answer - How did they blow up the pipeline and repair it. Without our gas, it will be difficult for industry and the inhabitants of Germany - this is the mildest word. It seems to me that the people of Europe still do not understand what will happen in winter. -35 trillion. It's good to push them and everything will fall apart.

And about "short-sightedness" - is it a threat? Now a wave of "orange revolutions" will sweep across all 23 countries? Or will the US impose half a million sanctions against them in one hundred and eighteen packages?
What else can the US play in the oil market? Only those that have already become familiar and recognizable.

[Irek]

Sorry for being off topic, but this is very important....

[Emergency]

You look at Blinkin's lean physiognomy, at Bidon's blissfully stupid little face, and somehow it becomes fun.

[tralflot1832]

So for information. For those who think that Sovcomflot tankers were not spared by sanctions. The Sakhalin 1 project chartered 8 Sovcomflot tankers. Companies operating river-sea tankers get rid of junk. And they carry oil to Turkey. And nowhere else. There were single flights to Bulgaria.

[Amateur]

The Sakhalin 1 project has chartered 8 tankers from Sovcomflot. Companies operating tankers river - sea ... And they carry oil to Turkey .... There were single flights to Bulgaria.

From Sakhalin to Turkey on the "river-sea"? What does the Unified State Examination Almighty in Geography do!

[tralflot1832]

And in the Far East there are companies operating tankers river sea? Sovkoflot is a point of the Company, which is not clear, there are no children here. And Sovcomflot works not only on Sakhalin.

These companies "drag" the oil industry from Novoross to Turkey, each is looking for its site.

[KCA]

The river-sea tanker is, as it were, intended for the Baltic and the Black Sea, how will it get from Sakhalin to Turkey, across the oceans? Don't talk nonsense, I can see the Volga from the street, I saw all sorts of Volgobalt, Volgodon, all sorts of gas carriers and tankers, they will fall apart in a storm in half

So the eurogynecologist just needs to set a price limit for OPEC oil.

It does not reach the minke whales that everyone is tired of their dictate.

[rotmistr60]

is disappointing and shortsighted

Short-sighted is the policy of the United States to blackmail and intimidate those with whom they negotiate, trying to achieve benefits exclusively for themselves. Finally, they received an answer from the Saudis. And I also liked the answer of the Minister of Energy of Saudi Arabia - Crown Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman to an American journalist. A brief explanation of the reasons for the reluctance to answer his question and generally talk to him.

[Winter]

Well, if you consider that yesterday the EU members offended the Emir of Qatar to death (he, as much as he dumped home in chagrin), the problems are only growing.

And how the EU is dissatisfied with the price of energy

[Ros 56]

Silly Blinok, on the contrary, this decision is far-sighted and economically correct. Not all striped cat carnival.

[former soldier]

Russia is one of the three countries in the world in terms of oil production, and therefore OPEC is forced to reckon with its interests. Moreover, their interests coincide.

[Igor Korbut]

That's just Blinken, this is the far-sighted, wise decision of the OPEC countries
