BAKU - Known for its output of hydrocarbon resources and for its close proximity to some of the world’s busiest maritime traffic lanes, as well as the cradle of the Islamic faith, Saudi Arabia has a monumental impact on the political events in the Middle East. Yet, the kingdom also faces several inherent domestic and foreign complications that shape its geopolitical behaviour.

After looking at the map of the Arabian peninsula during the video I realize why the Saudis are fighting so hard in Yemen - they realise the Iranians can easily shut off the straits of Hormus, but if they gain a strong hold in Yemen, not only will they be at Saudi Arabia's door step - they will also be in a position to shut off the straits between Yemen and Djibouti. This would literally strangle the Saudis!

[@erictarleton]

Look again, the straits of Hormuz are between Iran & Oman, not Yeman!!!

[@saurillian]

@@erictarleton Read carefully, he said also. He's trying to say that if Yemen becomes a stronghold of Iranian power, then Iran can shut of both the Straits of Hormuz and the Gulf of Aden, which would mean that they could not get their oil out to their main buyers in Asia

[@immortalwarrior2695]

So basically if Iran win the Yemen conflict not only it will strangle Saudis but the whole west to east sea trade line. No wonder people are pissed on Iran

I was a military contractor there for 4 years training there forces. They will never be an effective organize military force. Too much tribalism and corruption. The society is too lazy . They feel they're above everybody else. Most of the labor in the country is done by foreigners. And a large portion of the military doesn't care to learn about being an organized military. Their answer to much of the training they received was the Americans will come when the instructors and myself told them they need to learn this. They have good military equipment. Some of the best money can buy. But what good is it if your soldiers are not smart or disciplined enough to use it. Hence why they're getting their butts handed to them in Yemen on the ground. If it wasn't for the airpower they have, they'd be losing the war in Yemen.

@ United we stand divided we fall At different times within the past million years or so; all of northern Africa was, at one time or another, a verdant grassland and a shallow sea (whale fossils) and (now) a desert. I think that the same would be true of the Saudi peninsula. Although, I don't know why the Saudi Peninsula and the Persian Gulf have more oil than northern Africa (except for Libya) Within the area of Yeman and Oman there used to be enough seasonal rain for dams to be built and the reservoirs to be used for irrigation at least 3,000 years ago.

[@juriscervenaks8953]

Europa didn't start war in middle east, we only joined because of article 5 NATO. If one country is attacked all other country's will help in some way, not excluded-military help. I think that was only time article 5 was triggered. Maybe in Bosnian war? But USA detonated their twin towers, one reason, they needed distraction from news that trillions of dollars was missing from pentagon budget. And of course need to feed military budget. Also how useful that muammar gaddafi warned Italy before his country was attacked, that if Libya fall Europe will get mass immigration from North Africa. USA elite is playing games, and most population in west is brainwashed, because they watch mass media. P.S. my country didn't attacked any ''terrorists'', armies in middle east, only trained country's army, and defended military outposts, and lost only 2 men. Most offense was done by US, and other reason why they invaded in Middle east was to destroy ancient relics, artifacts-some of oldest on earth in middle east, some of them write about aliens. I believe US will try to scare population that Aliens will invade, so we need to make world army to defend earth, but in reality ''alien air crafts'' will by US experimental ''airplanes''. If world army will by established, there is plan to make martial law, and most citizens would by slaves. Hope it wont happen, and most people will wake up before that. Have you heard about Trump wanting to make space army?

Interesting to watch this episode in hindsight. Especially regarding the bin Salman junior. He'll have to balance between keeping the royal elite satisfied and implementing political, cultural and economic reforms. Turns out that just as everything else in this medieval absolute monarchy, this succession situation did not follow the contemporary political rules. Instead of keeping the rest of the royals satisfied, he used a supposed anti corruption action as a ruse to literally purge the kingdom from all competitors, with some of them disappeared and the rest imprisoned until they transferred all or most of their possessions and claims to the state i.e. him. Same brutality has been shown to all dissenters, with horrific war crimes being committed in Yemen as I write this. The West needs to completely disentangle itself from the dependency on this regime's oil and isolate Saudi Arabia to the point that no other country ever has been isolated. Unfortunately it's hard to see the US giving up on their partner in crime. Perhaps this will require Europe joining up with Russia and China in combating this evil.

14:48 Are we just going to let slide the fact that John Boyega is both a science fiction actor and a commando in the Saudi armed forces?

Anyone knows what is the software used on the videos on this channel that shows the image of the earth as if though hovering above it? 🌍

[@turkibagawi4064]

Despite the fact that you introduced many wrong info in this video, but what grabbed my attention the most is when you said in 4:39 that Shia minority treated like second class citizens. If this is true, then how come the CEO “Amin H. Nasser” of the biggest oil company in the world came from Shia faith? On top of that, 4 out of 29 members of the highest council in Saudi Arabia “Council of Ministries” from the Shia faith. Some KZbin channels like this one, unfortunately, take their info mostly from biased websites or articles without digging more to look for the facts.

good job for giving facts :)

The Al-Sauds are exceptionally lucky. Sitting on vast reserves of oil.

[@ahzam2862]

Not necessarily, although they have oil, but we shouldn't forget they have no rivers, only 2% of land is naturally caultivable and only 1/3 is inhabitable. So they are not so lucky, only they have different resources.

[@Nani_1]

The first time the oil was extracted was in 1938, before that our grandparents lived in hell, no water no AC no cars no houses, they died of hunger and thirst. no one helped them not even thier “neighboring countries”, Everyone mocked us and laughed at our religion, camels, tents and dates but they didn’t know that these 4 factors what helped us to survive and thrive, now we have oil and everyone wants to be our friend, we are not lucky we are believers whom believed in god and he rewarded us and we will be thankful for him our whole life.

no one How do you know anything really? You are NO ONE don’t you remember?

[@Nani_1]

[@Nani_1]

no one first you keep saying “lol” and that give a big signals that you are a child, Second you keep You keep referring to illogical things, what do you mean when you said “your religion”? You mean Islam? If that’s what you talking about then it’s a disaster because Islam and science go with each other and Islam encourages us to learn more, You really need to educate yourself.

Geographically a big country with pampered population will find defending it's borders a pain in long-run. Show will go on untill money exist. The kingdom in the next century will find it self in bottom rug without massive investment in education , technology and social reform.
