Why would they ever do a single favor for Biden? Not only has he done nothing for them, he's denigrated them and made it clear that he's not a supporter of fossil fuels; meaning he's politically at loggerheads with their long-term viability as an economic power. Plus, not for nothing, but that culture values being strong more than it values being right, and Biden's hosed the entire American apparatus with weakness since his first day in office.

The American propaganda machine might be able to fool half of it's own countrymen, but foreign players are far more savvy, especially foreign statesmen; they see right through him, and they see that tying themselves to him to any degree might as well be signing their own death warrants. The last irony in all of this is that Biden's attempts to intimidate them into doing his bidding only give them that much more reason to cut ties with him entirely and just go over to China and Russia; if the petrodollar becomes the petroyuan or the petroruble, the American dollar's value will plummet, and mixed with all the other economic failures Biden's seen put in place, we could be looking at a collapse the likes of which could see America shrink in world influence to the point we could enter a new Dark Age; which I suppose would be fine for the oligarchs who'll treat us like chattel serfs, but not so much for the march of human progress.
