Saudi prince isn't taking Biden's threat of consequences

Not a hair on a head to sniff

Saudi Prince Saud al-Shaalan, a prince related to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, isn't taking President Biden's threat to Saudi Arabia with a grain of salt. He apparently took aim at Biden's threat and warned leaders not to threaten the kingdom.

"Anybody that challenges the existence of this country and this kingdom. All of us, we are products of jihad, and martyrdom," he said in a video posted on Twitter Saturday. "That's my message to anybody that thinks that it can threaten us."

Al-Shaalan is married to a grand daughter of the late King Abdulaziz Al Saud, who founded Saudi Arabia.

The video comes at a time of unprecedented tensions between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, with the oil-rich kingdom leading an OPEC+ decision last week to cut oil production despite American requests to increase exports, (at least until the midterm elections in order to help the Democrats look as if they got the price of gasoline to drop. After the midterms, it's okay if they cut back on production again.)

Babbling Biden blasted the Saudis after that decision was made to cut production, accusing the Saudis of siding with Putin in the war with Ukraine and warning of "consequences" for the kingdom. Obama was obviously correct when he said, "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up."

"There's going to be some consequences for what they've done with Russia," Biden mush-mouthed during an interview with CNN last week.

In response, Saudi Arabia released a statement denying the decision was made in order to help Russia.

"The Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would first like to express its total rejection of these statements that are not based on facts, and which are based on portraying the OPEC+ decision out of its purely economic context," the Saudi foreign ministry said.

The current tensions have created the concern that the longstanding alliance between the US and the Saudi could be getting ready to split, but an anonymous Saudi secret source told Fox News Digital that al-Shaalan's rhetoric does not speak for the government and that there is a good chance the prince will end up "doing the Khashoggi."
