    Why would they though? They profit just the same from the high prices.

      They need the houthis gone and Iran stopped, that doesn’t happen till Russia gives up.

      Russia is trying to set the middle east on fire to pull support from Ukraine, and the middle east is where the saudis keep all their stuff.

      They want $100 a barrel. Russia is selling too much at say $90 a barrel. If the Saudis flood the market so it’s only $80 a barrel, it will really fuck Russia’s shit up.

      Saudis are hoping Russia starts playing their game with the price fixing.
