SHEIKHS in Distress: CRISIS in the PERSIAN GULF - VisualPolitik EN

War in Yemen, war in Syria, confrontation with Iran, a diplomatic crisis with Qatar and now, to top it off, the coronavirus crisis and the collapse in oil prices.
The Persian Gulf countries have been living on the brink of a nervous breakdown for a few years.
And yet these are some of the richest countries in the world, at least given the immense fortune that the royal families that govern these countries control.
The point is that with the current coronavirus crisis and the collapse in oil prices, many of these monarchies are up against the ropes.
And that brings up several questions: What exactly is happening with the petro-monarchies of the Persian Gulf? What future do they face? Is their story of money, riches and power coming to an end? Which countries will be most affected? In this video, we'll tell you all the details.

Probably wouldnt get there that fast. We still use coal, albeit to a lesser extent that what we do ever since oil came in to the picture... It'll be the same thing with oil with the advent of electric vehicles.. Countries in Africa would still be dependent on oil for driving their energy needs. But two things are going to happen- oil will become dirt cheap due to a lack of demand and countries that were dependent on them, will face massive recessions.

Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain locals are willing to work and have a newer generation of educated population.

As for UAE, Qatar and Kuwait; their population is too small and will remain reliant on expats for work. Kuwaiti newer generation could work in white collar jobs reducing expats however, keeping blue collar workers. UAE/Qatar will forever be reliant on expat labor, their population is too small to carry their current economy.

the main issue right now is that the oilproducts we are using are the most energy-rich substance we know of. No battery can compete with the energy by weight. But as soon as there is a replacement as energy-source, that can be stored and used efficiently, oil-prices will drop hard. But as of now, we couldn't build a plane running on electrical engines, just because of the weight of the batteries. So there will be oil used, unless we find other ways to fly.

[@ExcessumGaming]

@@liquidminds We are getting there. This year will be major breakthrough. After that is matter of scaling it up. Its only a matter of time. You cant make oil engines much better energy density wise. But batteries barely started and have near infinite growth ahead of them. Also for flying we will most likely use hybrid electric engines with batteries and hydrogen that have much better energy density than oil. While its pretty meh for cars for air planes its perfect.

The Muslim countries of the Middle East will have some major failures. Their biggest problem, IMO, is Islam itself. If you go back to 1300, the difference between the Islamic world and Christian Europe was not that much. Rulers in both areas looked to religious leaders to confirm their title, and say they are OK with god. In Europe, rulers had to get their marriages blessed by the Pope. It was a Pope's refusal to allow King Henry VIII to divorce and marry another that caused England to become Protestant. In fact, it was the religious wars, and atrocities of the 1500's that ended religion's importance in Western Europe. By 1700, government no longer cared what religion a person was. In 1600, the Archbishop of Canterbury was the 2nd most powerful person in England. BY 1700, he disappears from history. He is no longer important as a political leader.

Slick presentation but the data does not back it up. At 16:58 you say the "Persian Gulf countries have 3.5 trillion reserve petro $$, enough to put the rest of the world's balance sheets in order". The current US federal debt is close to 30 trillion $$, so not even close. Also a good chunk of that debt is from fighting middle eastern wars to prop up Arab oil country despots. The middle East is a sandbox used by the superpowers to fight proxy wars, and thereby promote the sale of weapons and the military industrial state. The current problems for OPEC are caused by the price wars between Russia and Saudi's, the goal of which is to destroy US oil production, and again make us dependent on non-domestic oil production. The U.S. needs to withdraw completely from middle east, let them jihad themselves to oblivion (Syria for example), implement steep tariffs for imported oil, protect our domestic oil production. Also, some b.s. About middle East being center of the world for shipping from China...so what? Do you know how much US money is spent keeping the Persian gulf open? Somali pirates, Iranian attack boats ring a bell? Let gulf oil countries and China patrol this area, rebuild traditional European Mediterranean shipping that's where all the goods are headed anyway.

Exactly! Loobies of some arab countries are highly investing a paying to chage this name to Gulf! But fuck you can't change the historical evidences

Very nice touch putting a Indian music 4:43 on a video that is about Arab countries and has nothing to do with India.

Batteries are killing and will kill the oil wealth. Natural gas , nuclear power , solar energy really are the future. Add to all of that their infrastructure is aging , costs to maintain increase as assets age.

This video is so retarded, soo illwilled towards UAE. So hear this from a dubai resident: Dubai is doing just fine, its true that property prices will drop vut that is normal. 70% prediction was made by fake news cnbc. Everything is reopening and working just. Fine. No fake news here means less panic so trash videos like these cant shake us even slightly

The amount of video pauses presented here may larger than the current deficit of the U.S. It also may be a strong reason for the larger than average thumbs down for such a strongly edited video.

After every phase of expansion there is a phase of contraction. Simple economics 101 says you must earn more than you spend. So unless they have a major breakthrough in some area of technological innovation that can be readly marketed the short answer is, they have seen their glory days, and their over. Now begins the slow spiral towards global irrelevance and economic depression. Their future is not bright.
