Quid Pro Quo means “something for something” in Latin. The dictionary defines quid pro quo as “a favor or advantage granted or expected in return for something.”
The midterms take place on November 8.
On October 5, OPEC+ voted to cut oil production even after President Joe Biden’s administration attempted to lobby Saudi Arabia and other countries to vote against cutting oil production.
The Biden administration invoked Russian “President” Vladimir Putin as why Saudi Arabia, the de facto head of OPEC+, and other nations voted in the affirmative.
I find it hilarious when anyone thinks Saudi Arabia sides with anyone. Saudi Arabia is in it for itself because it can. Does anyone think anyone OWNS Saudi Arabia? It’s also funny that Biden thinks threatening Saudi Arabia will actually work or do anything. I bet the kingdom is shaking in their boots or whatever shoes the people wear.
I’m snorting from laughing so hard.
How pathetic. Did they also think Saudi Arabia would remain silent? I guess so, but the kingdom had a lot to say.
Biden’s people didn’t just lobby the nations to vote no. Saudi Arabia claimed Biden’s administration asked them “to wait a month” to hold the OPEC+ vote to cut oil production.
According to the Foreign Ministry, the kingdom explained to Biden “that all economic analyses indicate that postponing the OPEC+ decision for a month, according to what has been suggested, would have had negative economic consequences.”
Um, that’s pretty close to the midterms when many people have already voted via the mail or early voting.
Instead of denying the accusation, the administration admitted it in so many words:
“We presented Saudi Arabia with analysis to show that there was no market basis to cut production targets, and that they could easily wait for the next OPEC meeting to see how things developed,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.The Riyadh-led group of oil producers’ next meeting is scheduled for Dec. 4, according to the OPEC website.Kirby also alleged that other OPEC member nations “communicated to us privately that they also disagreed with the Saudi decision, but felt coerced to support Saudi’s direction,”
But National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson denied it has anything to do with midterms because we’re obviously too stupid to know that if Saudi Arabia agreed, the vote would happen after the midterms.
Guess who the administration mentioned!
Putin, you guys. PUTIN:
The White House pushed back against any suggestion that it made a politically motivated request, with National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson saying in a statement early Friday that it was “categorically false to connect this to U.S. elections.”“It’s always been about the impact on the global economy and impact on families at home and around the world, especially as Putin wages his war against Ukraine,” she added.
So when will the Democrats draft impeachment charges against Biden?
The Democrats accused President Donald Trump of “quid pro quo” during a conversation with the Ukrainian president. They drafted and impeached Trump. The Senate did not convict Trump.
Biden asking Saudi Arabia to delay the vote sounds much more “quid pro quo” than Trump supposedly did on the phone call.
