First of all, European countries. As Russia stops supplying energy, Europe is currently facing a very serious energy shortage. People from many European countries such as France and Germany are continuing to protest, demanding that the government lift sanctions against Russia.

Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States has wooed allies to impose sanctions on Russia. But as time goes by, the US and the West have actually tasted the bitter fruits of the United States and the West. First of all, European countries. As Russia stops supplying energy, Europe is currently facing a very serious energy shortage. People from many European countries such as France and Germany are continuing to protest, demanding that the government lift sanctions against Russia.

Although European countries can import energy from the United States, the United States took the opportunity to increase the price, which has aroused dissatisfaction among European countries. Macron also personally called out, accusing the United States of selling energy at high prices.

is followed by the United States. Since sanctions against Russia, although the United States has not faced a serious energy crisis like European countries, the United States does not have much energy reserves.

Moreover, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, US oil prices soared, and inflation was high. In order to stabilize oil prices, the Biden administration has released oil reserves many times, but the results have been minimal.

In July this year, in order to persuade Saudi Arabia to increase oil production, Biden also visited the Middle East in person and met with the Saudi crown prince, but the effect was not very good.

Not only that, under Biden's efforts to win over, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries still refuse to take sides in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Another recent decision by Saudi Arabia hit the pain point of the United States.

It is reported that on October 5, the "OPEC+" country held a monthly ministerial meeting in Vienna to discuss oil production cuts. After the meeting, the "OPEC+" country announced that it would cut oil production on a large scale starting from November.

The next day, Biden said in an interview with reporters that he was disappointed with the decision to cut oil production by "OPEC+" and said that the United States is studying what alternatives there are.

Compared with Biden, U.S. Congress members' reactions are more intense. Recently, three members of the U.S. Congress proposed to withdraw troops from Saudi Arabia and the UAE in retaliation for the reduction of oil production by "OPEC+".

reported that the three lawmakers claimed to be angry at the "OPEC+" decision to cut oil production, and they believed the move was a "hostile act" against the United States.

One of the lawmakers who made the proposal said that "OPEC+" cuts oil production is "deliberately hurting" the United States. In that case, he believes that there is no need for the United States to continue to station troops in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, because it means nothing to the United States.

The three members of parliament also said that Saudi Arabia and the UAE announced a large-scale oil reduction, which is a clear signal that they are taking the lead in Russia in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

They claim that if Saudi Arabia and Russia want to help Putin , they should ask Russia to defend their oil fields, and there is no reason for the US military to continue to provide them with protection.

The three lawmakers seem to be very determined, but due to the midterm elections, their proposals cannot be discussed or voted in the short term, and Biden may not dare to agree to this proposal.

It is reported that the United States has deployed military and missile defense system in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. But the United States does this not mainly to protect these two countries, but to maintain its status in the Middle East.

For a long time, the game between the United States and Russia in the Middle East has been very fierce. Once the Biden administration decides to withdraw troops from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the United States' position in , the Middle East, will be out of control.

In addition, the United States has long established its control over oil resources in the Middle East. Once the United States withdraws troops from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, it will inevitably lead to a decrease in its control over oil, which will in turn affect its hegemony.

In addition, the long-term decline in the United States' control over oil will also affect the settlement of oil's US dollar, thereby seriously hitting the global hegemony of the US dollar.

Therefore, U.S. lawmakers proposed to withdraw troops from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which seems to be retaliation against these two countries. In fact, if the United States really does this, it will be "killing one thousand enemies and harming oneself eight hundred."

And even if U.S. lawmakers threaten to withdraw their troops, Saudi Arabia's attitude is very firm.It is reported that on October 7 local time, Saudi Foreign Minister Juber said in an interview with US media that the high oil prices in the United States are due to the shortage of refining facilities in the United States.

In other words, the United States wants to pass on the responsibility of high oil prices to external reasons, thereby putting pressure on Saudi Arabia and the UAE to increase oil production, but Saudi Arabia will not compromise.

Jubel said that Saudi Arabia has not politicized oil, and U.S. lawmakers claim that Saudi Arabia's oil production cuts was a "deliberate harm" to the United States, which is a complete slander. Obviously, the United States' hegemony measures have also become invalid for its former allies. If the United States does not reflect on its mistakes, there will only be more countries in the future that will cut seats with the United States.
