Very encouraging news, and the markets took it that way!
Isn’t this an about-face? Just last week there were reports tat the UAE and MBS had refused Biden’s attempts to talk.

You oil lobbyists and pro-Putin lapdogs are only convincing yourselves. Not anyone else.

Just so you all understand, high energy prices means poor Americans can't heat their homes and can't feed themselves, due to high cost of food, which needs to be farmed and delivered with equipment that works on fossil fuels.
So in the short-term, it means Democrats are stuck between raising the debt ceiling again to distribute aid to needy Americans, or losing at the polls. Badly.
I am all for sanctioning Russia to the extreme, nevertheless. The most important factor is for Europe to wean itself off Russian oil and gas. They made noises in that direction, but it has to be more forceful than that. Americans can help Europe find other sources of oil and gas.
Someone commented to me the other day the Democrats are now entirely the party of Tesla drivers and bus riders and very few in between.
The observation is general but there is truth to it. It would explain why the Democratic leadership in DC seem so tone deaf to inflation and the effects of higher gas prices at the pumps. I don't think we've had an administration that came off as so aloof and uncaring to the needs of everyday Americans. Telling people just to go out and buy EVs doesn't exactly help the image.
