All behind closed doors all of this is agreed to before any moves in the game are played.
OPEC+ gets to make a big (and meaningless) PR play by cutting production to jack the price back closer to 100 deflated US dollars a barrel.
Biden then gets to make a big (and meaningless) PR play by yammering about "reconsidering relations" with Saudi Arabia and threatening to move anti-aircraft systems from Saudi Arabia to Ukraine.
The Saudis then get to play the PR card by publicly snubbing Biden and gets to bank "Street cred" standing up to the bullying Americans.
Then while the world looks at the public plays with the left hand the Saudis right hand gives Biden $400 million for his pet "Let's drive the world into depression and war" project.
In the end OPEC+ gets the price of oil back up, Biden get his payoff for the war, and whatever graft Biden Inc. can pull off the top.
And the payoff for Americans? We get to finance the scam through inflation and fraud with the added bonus of getting to watch our cities turn into kill zones, homeless camps and ash heaps.
