  1. That doesn't surprise me with Boris, I mean, when doesn't he stumble? lol. As for Saudi Arabia, they might be seeing a big opening in selling a lot more oil to the EU countries and I suspect they are waiting on them to see what they want, after all, they know they want to shift away from Russia so any country that can fill the void would stand to gain a lot of profit from that. Simply put, the UK isn't as important of a market whereas they are a lot more interested in what the EU have on their minds. In any case, if any of these countries want to profit on this, they best act quickly because I suspect the EU countries will rapidly speed up it's process to alternative energy sources which could make a lot of these fossil fuels worthless, especially now energy has become a security issue.

  2.  @IloveCamels335  They all wanted that but they didn't go cap in hand like Boris did, he thought he was being smart by trying to get his foot in the door first, the truth is that the UK isn't as important of a market like the EU and US and the irony is, if the EU does reduce it's oil and gas from Russia, who ever gets their foot in the door to suppler the Europeans could stand to profit from that a lot, the US is the one being smart on that one for now, getting it's foot in the door first, Saudi Arabia could benefit from that at Russia expense if they get their act together and quickly because Europeans are not going to wait for every, if they can't get from them, they'll look elseware and these tend to be long term contracts. So the point I'm getting at, there is a massive opening for oil and gas countries to profit from this because the EU market is a massive market but they'll have to be quick because the EU is actively looking to sign contracts, the US seems to be the only one on the ball on this one. Russia asked for gas in Roubles, the EU said no, the gas is still running. As for the petrodollar, who cares about that, the real power isn't that but it's in the economy and in winning hearts and minds, basically, the EU and US are doing a much better job in offering a better quality of living for people around the world, what does Russia, China, Saudi Arabia offer. Threats? A restrictive quality of life? if you ask the average person, I bet what they want is security, freedom and a high quality of life, something the EU is doing a good job in winning the hearts and minds of people around the world and that is the biggest weakness of Russia and China which lets be blunt about it, they care more about the inner circles of power than they do about the people, the people are there as pawns for the games of the ones in power, now part of that is true in the west but to a much lower degree compared to those other countries.
