'Slap In West's face': NATO Nation France after Putin's Arab friends cut oil output | 'More Soon'

The West's so-called 'dream' to hit the Russian economy with oil sanctions has shattered. In a big admission, French leader Florian Philippot has termed failed western sanctions a 'slap in the face.' Philippot said that the new OPEC+ deal to reduce oil production levels is a fresh blow for the West, including the French economy and Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, who was supposed to make the Russian economy collapse. On April 2, several members of the OPEC+ group agreed to introduce voluntary additional cuts to their output starting in May until the end of 2023. Russian Deputy PM Alexander Novak has warned of more nations following suit. Watch this report for more.

Collective West sense of entitlement is so high they are surprised that others can slap back if attacked

[riteshiitr]

Relationship built on fear and threat can only go for so long. Fear of sanctions, wars, political isolation and so on. West should have seen this coming.

The age of Anglo Saxon dominance is over. To all my Indian, African, and Asian friends, we don’t need to be fighting each other for their validation anymore. We’ve suffered from mental enslavement for far too long.

It's good for Saudi Arabia that they are realizing they don't need to be just lapdog, but they actually have some influence in world.

On sanctions, it's despairing to know that human genius has limitations, while human stupidity has none.

[unknowntoka]

West shouldn't even think that resource rich countries are bound to provide anything meaningful to their barren land.

The Realpolitik Perspective

[bouyaharumichi]

Russia is a forefront against hegemony, dictatorship, and neo colonialism.
So I do believe, that many country's really do follow suit, given Russia is a economic powerhouse and trying to cap it's produce. I guess this era is about realism other than idealism, in which the latter really made a severe imbalance

[RAPLINESpilipinas]

WEST IS TRYING TO UPPER CUT THE MARKET and their fist landed on their face

[jayzdelacruz]

shame and slap to the U.S and NATO, good job Russia

[yudhiadhyatmikosiswono]

Why west moaning because oil cuts ?
They should be grateful because OPEC+ help west to achieve green policy faster, that means no more cheap oil for western countries.
