Saudi Arabia already has us "under their thumb" many don't know that Saudi Arabia is 100% owner of the largest refinery in the US at Port Arthur Texas, operating under the Motiva name. They have agreements to be the exclusive supplier to over 5000 gas stations under the Shell name and many more under the 76 brand. And yes, I do remember the oil embargo, the gas lines, the odd and even days and the "no gas" signs at many stations! If they decide they want to cut or increase production, it will have an immediate effect on supply and prices.
George Santos will accomplish his goal. He once made a statement that all he wanted was one term so he would have a pension and health benefits for life. Looks like he's going to get it too!
