We start today’s double podcast discussing the US oil sector and why it faces an very uncertain future fueled by a significant risk of self-inflicted energy security issues which could threaten the US economy itself. We then move onto developments associated with Saudi with respect to Saudi investment in China and how Saudi is now also embracing multipolarity with respect to the ASEAN nations. We conclude assessing why a recent meeting between China and EU officials may have long term implications for the US flawed desire to subjugate China.
