Precisely because we are in a longer-term competition now with Russia and China, we need to broaden the coalition of states that will work with us. (In the case of Iran, when it is increasingly removing the IAEA’s ability to monitor its nuclear program, installing two new cascades of advanced centrifuges, enriching to near weapons grade, and reducing its break-out time, this is not the moment to give them an infusion of cash by permitting their oil back on the market.) Saudi Arabia is not a revisionist state, trying to upend the regional and international orders. But just as we do not want to sustain Russia’s aggression with its oil revenues, both Iran and Venezuela are under sanctions for good reasons, including their support for terror and the threats they pose to their regional orders. Of course, there are other oil-producing states like Iran and Venezuela whose oil could be added to the market if sanctions were lifted against them. Just as Jimmy Carter understood that Saudi Arabia was important to us, so, now we must be mindful of that as well. Yes, real independence will come when renewables take the place of fossil fuels, but we are decades away from that reality, with the peak of oil consumption probably still 10-15 years from now.
Five dollars a gallon here is a testament to that. Russia’s war reminds us that there is no such thing as oil independence so long as there is one oil/ energy market globally and its disruption produces a much higher oil price for us and everyone else. The only country in the world with any significant spare oil production capacity is Saudi Arabia. But getting as much Russian oil off the market as possible also drives up the price and requires expansion of oil production to make up some of the loss. Imposing an unmistakable cost on Russia requires doing as much as we can to deny it the oil revenues that help sustain its war effort - one that Vladimir Putin acts as if he can win through attrition and outlasting Ukraine. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a seismic event internationally. However, those who criticize President Biden now for his upcoming visit, act as if there are no other considerations. President Trump should not have dismissed it the way he did, and could have imposed a price without rupturing relations. His critics see him giving the Saudis a pass and rehabilitating its Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, without creating accountability for the gruesome murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
