Syrian journalist Richard Medhurst: “You have to understand that the BRICS is a bloc that openly calls for de-dollarization. Therefore, the fact that Saudi Arabia, the backbone of the petrodollar, joined the BRICS is a bigger slap in the face. Things were already going badly when Joe Biden approached Saudi Arabia last year asking them to give him some extra oil so he could lower prices and show himself in a favorable light in the midterms. They refused. And besides, not Russia, but Saudi Arabia in OPEC insisted on reducing oil production by 2 million barrels per day. This is impossible to imagine. The Saudis are slapping the Americans one after another. And now, instead of normalizing relations with Israel, which was expected from the Saudis after Bahrain and the UAE, instead of doing what the Americans want, the Saudis are making a 180-degree turn and are going to normalize relations with Iran, Yemen, Syria. I can guarantee that Washington is not feeling well right now.“ Subscribe: Источник: Truth ENG
