The Saudi Prince is not taking a threat from the US lying down as he has responded telling the White House that any kind of threat of violence will not be taken lightly in the Kingdom.
“Anybody that
challenges the existence of this country and this kingdom; all of us, we are
products of jihad, and martyrdom,” Saudi Prince Saud al-Shaalan, who is married
to one of the grandaughter's of the late King Abdulaziz Al Saud, said in a
video that was posted to Twitter Saturday. “That's my message to anybody that
thinks that it can threaten us.”
King Abdulaziz Al Saud founded Saudi Arabia.
The arrogance and
superiority of everyone is evident in the above statement. The US was sending
off a warning message after it felt the Kingdom had sided with Russia in
deciding to cut down its oil production quantities as a leading member of the
OPEC+. In response the Kingdom had mentioned that it was a unanimous decision of
all the members and there was no favoritism of Russia.
Saudi Arabia was
also accused of siding with Russia over the war with Ukraine. In response to
this, a twitter message was quoted where Ukraine expressed its heartfelt
gratitude for what Saudi Arabia had done for it.
The
back-and-forth tensions have caused concern that the longtime security alliance
between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia could be in the midst of fracturing. But a
Saudi source tells a well-known US based new agency that Al-Shaalan's rhetoric
does not represent the views of the government and there is a good chance that
they will take action against the prince for posting the video.
Biden had
pleaded with the Kingdom to keep the production intact and not reduce its
duration. But the opposite did happen and the West Wing dropped the gloves in
the spat and said they would ‘re-evaluate’ diplomatic relations while the Democrats threatened
to suspend all arms deals to the long-time ally.
