Reuters ran a slippery story last week headlined, “Record Flows of Russian Diesel to Mideast Boost Exports to Europe, Africa.”

The story buried the lede. While it is telling that Russia is selling record amounts of oil to Europe and Africa, defying Joe Biden’s worldwide sanctions threats, it is even more interesting that Russia is accomplishing this miraculous feat by laundering its oil through its brand-new ally Saudi Arabia, which right up until Joe Biden fist-bumped the Saudi Prince used to be OUR ALLY.

Needless to say, Saudi Arabia is a massive oil EXPORTER. They don’t need to buy oil. They’re only buying Russian oil to help Russia, knowing full well that the budding new relationship will make the deep state jealous and angry
