Well it sounds like the neighborly thing to do would be at least to stop supporting them in their utterly horrific ongoing murder and misery spree in Yemen.. good God, that might even synchronize our moral outrage against the invasion of Ukraine, I mean it's a little out of sync it's a little laggy.. but that would at least you know just maybe not for the reasons entirely we should but, definitely would be the right thing to do.. and if the money works you know, that's usually when the right thing might end up you know getting some sort of semblance of troglodyte version of itself showing up.. That country is largely responsible for the extreme distortion of Islam that has pervaded in the modern age, and we've given them money for over half a century in order to just keep propagating it and it has been us in the butt many a Time.. as well as the entire middle East not that we care because we don't apparently.. but God I would love it if we did.. Saudi Arabia is toxic to the core, as the wahhabi section of Islam has been to Islam as a whole.. and the only reason that hyper extremist fundamentalist distortion of one of the largest faiths got so much clout is because we just kept giving them money to spread it around and legitimize it... Step one be just you know stop giving the money.. just in general, both for our actual security interests not monetary.. and then you know step two would be probably I don't know stop wholesale supporting genocide which you know we shouldn't have done in the first place should have could have would have though you know I'll take what I can get when it happens if it happens. Let them buddy up to Russia, sounds like ideologically they're a lot closer anyways.

@@Taskandpurpose just some constructive criticism, but in your dejan beric interview I felt that your personal bias got in the way and ruined what could have been an otherwise excellent interview. If you’re going to interview someone for the reason that they show the opposite side of the coin then why act shocked and argue with the man? At that point it’s moving from an interview to a debate and adding tension and awkwardness. You did a good job asking questions but I didn’t appreciate you attacking what seemed like a very reasonable perspective to me. If you saw what he saw in Serbia would you really be a huge NATO fan? Your values and viewpoints are not universal and people on the other side of the world are not obligated to abide by them. Throughout the millennia of recorded history probably >90% of governments were what you would call “authoritarian” so you shouldn’t be shocked when you meet people who aren’t cheerleaders for western democratic values. Not every man can be a NATO “freedom fighter” at the end of the day we will always have an enemy. Also found it strange when you cashed doubt on his farthest shot. Canadian sniper hit over 1000m farther than he claimed and even a Ukrainian sniper claims a farther kill than him. Idk if you were being sarcastic but the distance wasn’t unbelievable. He is a major, and considered a legend, so I’m assuming there’s a good reason why.

The conflict started with the fall of the USSR and it is ongoing for more than 30 years with different degrees of intensity. I guess you mean the last escalation that led to the Armenia-backed Nagorno-Karabakh region losing a solid chink of their territory. So this conflict is one more brilliant example of the Realpolitik in the world. Months earlier, after a series of US State Dept backed and organized "protests" (follow the money) and new government, led by Nikola Pashinian has been formed. That new government with talibanish vigor rushed to cut all ties with Russia - more or less following the scenario that unfolded after the the coup in Ukraine in 2014. Now, the differences here are that Azerbaijan is tightly connected with Russia too and as well - backed by Turkey that is a historical enemy of Armenia. Another important point is the status of Nagorno-Karabakh. It has been recognized as occupied Azeri region by UN. Third, on paper is independent state - not part of Armenia, so Russia had no legal ground to interfere as Azerbaijan has not attacked Armenia, but a backed by it separatist region. In fact, the state senates of California, Maine, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Rod-Island, Louisiana, Georgia and Michigan have voted and accepted resolutions that were sent to the POTUS and the Congress to acknowledge the independence of NGR. So, when the conflict intensified, it was in fact USA and its vassals from EU that ditched its muppet in Erevan like an used condom as the backing up Armenia would place them in conflict with Turkey (a NATO member) over a military allied with Russia country. Two weeks later, Russia interfered by getting the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Moscow and the conflict deescalated. Overall, this conflict is another brilliant example of the diplomatic incompetence of the latest US administrations. maybe it is time for you to reintroduce "competence" as hiring criteria with priority over skin color, gender and political alignment.

Yep that's true too. But SAudi ISN'T *buying Russian Oil* - The US still buys loads of it 'though. So yes, Mr C is right - It IS *all Realpolitik* or *doublespeak* to you & me.

Talking about buddies and bromances in a geopolitical video is what you cal "maturing"? No such thing as friendship in politics, there never had been. I like the style, though there is much oversimplifying here, so the videos can hardly be called informative, rather entertaining. More gags, less actual politics, which is perfectly understandable, taking channel format into account. Or else the vid would be 10 times as long and far less interesting to this audience.

The only real way to do that would be to nationalize the oil industry so we could make sure it's used in North America before being exported. Also, most of our North American oil reserves aren't the thin "sweet" crude that the middle east has. Their oil is thinner so it's easier to refine & ours is thicker & harder to refine. Also that's not even touching on the fact we wouldn't have near enough refineries. We've slowed down or basically stopped building refineries in America for the last few decades bcuz of the environmental impact. Our government basically decided to let other countries trash their environments instead of ours. This whole issue is ridiculously complicated

When I a kid in the ‘70s, my family and I lived in Saudi Arabia. We were there during the Iranian revolution. Soon after it happened, one of the features that we would see on the way to the beach were anti-aircraft batteries. Socially, the government tightened down on “immoral” activity and enforced such things as shutting down stores during call to prayer, no public eating or drinking at daytime during Rhamadan and disallowing “pagan” practices like hanging Christmas lights and decorations. It’s like they were in a holier than thou contest with Iran.

Islamists from the Muslim Brotherhood moved to Saudi Arabia and hijacked much of the media and social cohesion the Saudi community. They began what’s known as the “Sahwa Movement” which culminated in extreme social and religious conservatism and even extremism in some cases. The government couldn’t do anything but go with the flow as it feared civil unrest by the masses. This is why you saw many of the extremes pop up like “banning females from driving” and “religious police” and “no public eating” The Islamists also hijacked the education programs and started distributing very extreme ideological messaging within said programs. Eventually their power wained throughout the years and the religious police were disbanded and much of their backward taboos and effects reversed. Sincerely, A Saudi.

In many ways, India is also following the same path that the Saudis are taking: domestic interests first, international interests second. Unfortunately, too many people in the Washington Beltway don't seem to understand this, and seem to think that the world still revolves around American interests, circa pre-1991. The United States economic and energy policies need to be flexible enough to adjust when our so-called "allies" abroad have agendas that can affect the USA domestically.

We've been doing the exact same things since the formation of the Republic by a revolution by racist sexist white men against a tyrannical government of British racist sexist white Men. The US ... is a Constitutional Federal Republic .. created under the God of the Jews & Christians .... of, by & for ... the People of the US either by vote ( 1A) or gun (2A). God is not a racist sexist white Man from Virginia with the last name Jefferson or Madison. The moment the Declaration of Independence was ratified ... was when non white Americans & women ... had inalienable rights .... including the right to vote for their government AND the right to bear arms in a REVOLUTION against a tyrannical government. Every US government since 1776 ... has violated the the rights of the People of the US ... to elections and/or revolution. The 2A has nothing to do with gun rights. It is about the People of the US ... having the right to bear arms in a REVOLUTION against a tyrannical government (eg Brits, Confederacy, the those from the Jim crow South). Both Republicans & Democrats ... do not want well regulated People's Militia's in ever State ... policing what they are doing and with the right to remove a tyrannical government by force. The US Constitution is only about .... GOVERNANCE ... of, by & for the People of the US .... either by vote/courts OR militia/revolution. The 2A tells the government that it can not infringe on the right of Revolution by the People of the US ... in well regulated Militia necessary for a free state. C'mon. It does matter what nation you are ... all People are equal and have inalienable rights to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness ... and all governments should be of, by & for the People ... and protect these fundamental rights. The US created the greatest system of government ever ... under the God of the Jews & Christians .... and then immediately violated the rights of the People to vote or revolution. Allah means "god of the moon." Mohammad means "the praised one" and is only to address a pagan god. Akbar is the name of the pagan sun god. The Quran orders muslims to hate & kill non believers, especially the Jews & Christians, apostates, proselytizers and ... any Muslim you believe is a hypocrite (lol). ISIS, Taliban, ... are good & obedient Muslims. Abdullah means "slaves of Allah." Anybody ..... who insults Mohammad must be killed even if they repent ...... but ... you can insult Allah so long as you repent after 3 days. Only morons believe Islam .... is a religion that follows the God of Abraham, Issac, & Jacob ... and is a religion of peace equally when practiced correctly. WTF? Allah promised a Heaven of endless sex with virgins so white you can see the marrow of their bones ... because pagan Arabs were racists and obsessed with white womens & sex. So why exactly ... is the US under the God of the Jews & Christians ... forming alliances with Islamic, communist & neo-Fascist regimes that is violates the fundamental rights of every human being ... especially the right to vote ... & .... revolution? Again. Every US government since 1776 ... has violated the the inalienable rights of the People of the US ... to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness ... through elections or revolution. The tyrannical governments will do what they have to to maintain their control of the People.

Its interesting that something similar to the oil embargo of the 70s is happening today. History really does repeat itself

this is far worse. The US dollars world reserve status is tied to the oil sales from OPEC. Get ready for a hard life in the new world order.

The embargo in the 70’s by OPEC was a punitive action against the US. Other OPEC production restrictions are to keep prices stable and high by limiting exports. Like currently.

Yep. Meanwhile, the USA continues to sell to Israel as well. There are no white vests in international politics.

Small thing you missed, The Saudi government has had complete ownership of the largest oil refinery in the United States, which is Motiva’s refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, since May 2017. As well as major oil industry everywhere including Canada.

A critical factor that affects Saudi relations with US is the recent shift in US policy on Iran's nuclear weapons development. The current US administration is moving towards an agreement which will effectively speed up Iran's progress towards nuclear weapons. It's no wonder why the Saudis are very worried about US actions. How would we feel if a neighbor decided to throw a rattlesnake over our fence while saying 'have a good day' ?

This assessment that Biden administration is”moving towards an agreement which will effectively speed up Iran’s progress towards nuclear weapons” is a 🐂💩lie .. based in no facts!! Where does one come up with these fairy tales. It was the Trump administration walking away from the agreement that even had the backing of China and Russia and regular UN inspections.That decision has allowed Iran to move towards the enrichment needed to start down the nuclear road .. unabated!! All on Trump .. all on Netanyahu…

@@ronmaximilian6953 commit treason?? How? When? The free world are democracies.. the policies, foreign and domestic, vary from one administration to another. The free press allows healthy public debate about those policies. BUT .. the Middle East, with the exception of Israel’s limited democracy, are dictatorships. There is no public debate, there is no free press (ask Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi) and very limited social media. You don’t get to paint with one brush, one colour, all of American policy. You do in Saudi Arabia and they need to decide what side they are on .. unfortunately, there is no third option anymore in this fight against a world order that will allow the strongest to determine what the borders will be!!
