Here CNN gave birth to a voluminous article on the topic of Russian oil and the possibility of its replacement in the event of an embargo. In short, the Biden administration sees a way out in cooperation with the Saudis, Venezuela and Iran. But the problem is that Americans have bad relations with all these countries now.
Attempts to improve relations with Venezuela have already caused a flurry of criticism against Biden, and one of the senators directly called Bidon's grandfather an idiot. π The Israeli lobby is categorically against Iran. It is already clear to everyone that Iran will only accelerate the creation of a nuclear bomb, and further events do not add optimism to Israel. Well, Biden himself quarreled with the Saudis. More recently, he called the crown prince a murderer and said that he would never communicate with him. So abruptly changing their position is not very even for Biden, and the Saudis were really offended and angry at the United States. π€£
In general, everything is difficult
But the most interesting thing is that Russia has excellent relations with all three countries. Venezuela owes almost everything to Russia, Iran a lot, and Saudi Arabia has simply established close mutually beneficial ties, seeing Russia and China as a counterbalance to the United States.
The time has come to check all the partners that Russia has been gathering for many years. π
