It makes it easier for alignment blocks to form. But one commentary I read suggest this is a reaction to a perception we are close to peak oil demand and wanting to sell as much as possible before going over that hump.
the age of royal collaboration is sunsetting and now it’s every gulf monarchy for itself!
usually when autocratic monarchies with a despotic strangehold over their people start to turn against each other during an enormous global crisis centered in their region, they are all very stable and going to remain around for a very long time
No chance. The UAE are the true dogs of USAmerican empire. The Saudis very well could flip sides and sell oil in RMB, but the UAE will go down with the ship. They’re more culturally Israeli than Arab.
I don’t think so. The bourgeois are gonna bourgeois. All American empire dogs counted on Trump to protect them from Iran and he obviously failed. If it is more lucrative to trade with China, their bourgeoisie will do so gladly, I think.
This feels like a big deal?

That’s what I’ve been telling my therapist at least
I think they mostly do it to increase the amount they can extract? And also possibly to lower prices below competitor prices.
i know nothing, but probably exiting so they can sell oil for yuan instead of USD
