"...The US should act accordingly and ask, “What, Saudi Arabia, have you done for us lately?”

Perfect, TC. We do not need them. And...we should be isolating the Saudis with a clear declaration that they are enemies of democracy and human rights. Their nation is built on an antique, ancient and feudal system that treats women (and any people who have opinions) as enemies. Fuck 'em.

And then... we challenge "our oil companies" to decide whether they are purely price driven or actually interested in helping their own countrymen (women). The answer is clear, let us simply state it!

There is so much for Democrats to work with here. But we let it bubble below the surface. Our own companies are our own enemies.

I wish this came as a surprise, but having followed the dismal history of Big Oil it does not. Hopefully the President will follow through on his statements to OPEC+ and the major oil companies and we'll see some change.
