Abhijit Iyer-Mitra on MBS Doctrine: Past & Future and Israel-Saudi Arabia Relations

For the longest time, Saudi Arabia, with its large oil reserves was considered the leader in West Asia. When UAE started modernizing, it was a matter of time before KSA too needed to follow suit. Abhijit Iyer-Mitra walks down memory lane and details the rise of MBS and where he is taking KSA.

Arabs of UAE are basically darling people. Majority are very loving and caring people and respects the other cultures especially Indians (and now Israelis) unlike the South-Asian converted muslims.

[@smoky3302]

If u see Arabs once obtaning power stop islamic expansionism I mean the golden age of Islam started under Arabs and Persian. It the Turko Mongol invasion which was brutal which ultimately swept India.

About to finish my research under the title "WORLD'S WORTHIEST LEADER FOR A DESERVED FUTURE GENERATION" MASTER degree, University of Edinburgh. Frankly, I'm already SHOCKED by MBS character. HOW ON EARTH did he overturn all of the hurdles facing his nation into motivations? Converting all difficulties, at once, to become pieces of cake!. What an Amazing leader, NO DOUBT the Saudi Arabians would NOT find a better substitute! It looks like that was only the iceberg, I'm very sure the twinkling star of their crown prince hadn't shown yet. For sure, he is going to become the greatest man in this era, unless he get murdered or died early for ordinary reasons. hope NOT

[@vinu85]

I would love to know why UAE (Abu Dhabi) and Saudi Arabia are iron clad neighbors for decades. From the few countries that recognized the Taliban, to now being aligned in war against the Houthis to evicting Qatar from GCC to recognizing Israel. How or why does the UAE, Saudi Relationship never had a hiccup. If size was the response, that doesn't hold as Qatar is an example of defiance and having won. This despite the fact that UAE has been largely more open, progressive as a society than Saudi could ever be, at least for now.

[@sarakumari3179]

It all because of UAE wise vision, Zayed Al nahyen wanted a progressive nation, but not outcast from islamic world, so with implementing all librelisation in his own country, he kept holding King Saud hand, it proved win win situation for them. Later yes it benefitted saudi's too, cause now UAE is world renowned, so now it is mutual.

As much as I hate Washington Post. Sorry, there is no way I’d defend such kind of killing . Y’all must be really mad to defend someone like MBS. He is a dictator and he needs to be called out for what he did. We’re a democracy and there is no place for tolerance of such acts, absolutely disappointed by the way this dude goes on to defend MBS.

[@smrutismarak9503]

He gives a more nuanced view of the whole situation. He himself has said that he condemns killing of all journalists even journalists that are affiliated with terrorists. However, he pointed out the fact that Jammal himself wasn't made of gold. He was as corrupt as the one who killed him. Moreover, MBS is doling out reforms which is generally a good thing, why not give praise where it is due. How did you not catch him saying that killing of any journalist should be condemned in the beginning? I believe you need more nuance in how you look at things. Clearly, you are still too one dimensional.
