I was able to bring gasoline down well over $1.60, but it's inching up because of what the Russians and the Saudis just did," Biden told the audience in Hagerstown, Maryland.

“I do think that the idea that Russia and Saudi Arabia and other major producers are not going to pump more oil so people can have gasoline to get to and from work, for example, is — is — is not — is not right. But — and what we’re considering doing on that, I’m reluctant to say before I have to do it,” Biden said over the weekend while attending the COP26 U.N. Climate Summit in Scotland

“Well, on the surface, it seems like an irony, but the truth of the matter is — you’ve all known; everyone knows — that the idea we’re going to be able to move to renewable energy overnight and not have — from this moment on, not use oil or not use gas or not use hydrogen is just not rational,” Biden said. “But it does, on the surface, seem inconsistent, but it’s not at all inconsistent in that no one has anticipated that this year we’d be in a position — or even next year — that we’re not going to use anymore oil or gas; that we’re not going to be engaged in any fossil fuels. We’re going to stop subsidizing those fossil fuels. We’re going to be making significant changes.”

Saudi Arabia has expressed interest in joining the BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who has just returned from a state visit to the kingdom, said.

"The Crown Prince (Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud - TASS) did express Saudi Arabia’s desire to be part of BRICS,"
"They are not the only country [seeking membership in BRICS]".
"We did say that BRICS [is] having a summit next year under the chairship of South Africa and the matter (expanding the BRICS group - TASS) is going to be under consideration," he noted, "A number of countries are making approaches to BRICS members, and we have given them the same answer, that it will be discussed by the BRICS partners and thereafter a decision will be made," the president elaborated.

An ideal time for them to cashout but sabotage and looting will not permit them. Smart people are busy making money from this show of shame between russia and the west but Africa is still in comatose

He did not think about it when he said Ruble is now rubble or has he forgot that statement angry angry
USA have oil and gas, let him release it to USA market to make price goes down.

All oil producing nations are cashing out but Nigeria is going backward.
Price of oil goes up, Nigeria is in trouble then oil price goes down, Nigeria is still in trouble, because we do not have any working oil refineries.
