At the same time Saudi Arabia caps oil production and sends oil prices soaring again, which helps Russia, also the Saudis are more or less openly engaged in closing their ties with China as well. It seems they are pissed a bit by endless moralising and lecturing by impertinent Europeans and American knows-it-better.
Not good.
Not forgetting here that no country in Africa and no country in Latin America and only very very few countries in Asia joined the West in its condemnation of Russia'S attack against Ukraine, and refuses to join calls for sanctions. The majority of this globe's countries and the majority of the people living on it are not siding with the West and against Russia.
It gets lonely around the West. The time they take Western missionising as inevitable, are over. American chaotic politics and European lecturing did and do their share to boost this trend.
Nicht wahr, Annalena...?
