Wedged between Europe, North Africa and Central Asia, the Middle East is undoubtedly one of the hottest spots in international geopolitics. Whether we are talking about energy supply, religion, terrorism, opaque finances or wars. The Middle East is always in the limelight.
A region divided into two large groups: Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on the one hand and Qatar and Turkey on the other. Two blocs that get along so badly with one another that we can practically speak of a latent conflict. A real Arab cold war. In this video we tell you all the details about this division.
Turkey is facing an even worse economic crisis nowadays and UAE invested 10 billion $ in Turkey.
UAE, once considered a nemesis to Turkey, is its savior now.
Due to economic reasons, Erdogan loses domestic popularity, thus willing to do anything to stay in power.
So Turkey's foreign policy doesn't show any sign of consistency.
Qatar did 15 billion $. Also bought their drones
they're trying to change turkish foriegn policy by promising erdogan money in return, i hope they get success though
You know the Lira is in trouble when it looks bad in an exchange with a dollar going through Biden's inflation crisis.
Because the US is leaving the middle East and those countries need a security partner and Turkey
Uncle Sam will ensure that lira fails, the coup continues, even the Russian won't be able to stop it
I can’t help but to notice that:
1. You failed to mention that Qatar itself is an ABSOLUTE MONARCHY.
2. That turks and arabs are not the same race and only joined by Sunni Islam.
3. The Aljazeera source mentioned in this video is a Qatari governmental news network.
4. How modern democracy is fundamentally held together by Secularism and why “Islamic Democracy” would never work.
5. Before Qatar ever needed a “NATO” ally, it has the largest US military base outside of the US.
6. How strengthening the Qatari - Iranian relationship put the US also in a bind.
Hope to see more cohesive and accurate content from your channel in the future.
Cheers!
Islamic democracy can work don't be a munafiq... Secularism is haraam. The prophet was political... islam is political. Monarcial dictatorships are the antithesis of what the ummah is supposed to look like.
@@shafsteryellow your extremist thought like this has labeled Islam as a terrorist religion. Thinking Islam is greatest and other religion are inferior gives rise to tensions and violence. If same intolerance happened in whole world where Muslim are forced to follow Christian rule, Buddhist rule, Hindu rules or Confucianism rules then middle east economy will seriously come under trouble. When trump put travel ban on immigrnats from 7 muslim country, then there was so many rhetoric about it. you can very well see the reason why. Other religions are not so intolerant to each other expect islam which always tries to dominate. Therefore acheiving peace with islam is never possible. You can't force sharia on non muslim people. Bcoz what will happen if christian rule is forced upon muslim living in europe and america
@@kunalkar2667 jewish people believe they're the chosen people and the state of Israel as a Jewish state conducts itself as such. Evangelical Christians which are the largest unified voting block in the U.S AKA the nuclear armed single superpower believe the establishment of a Jewish state will lead to the second coming of Jesus. Please stop it. We know what Neandra Modi and the BJP religiously motivated policies are we know we see the Eastern orthodoxy impact on Russian foreign policy and their religiously motivated intervention in Syria. Don't move goalposts when it comes to Islam.
@@shafsteryellow democracy is shirk
@@kunalkar2667 So being a true Muslim means you're an extreme radical islamist fundematalist ? The amount of hypocrisy and ignorance you showed here is astonishing, Islam's message was never solely aimed at the individual level, Islam governed a state, it gave instructions to govern a state through the Prophet, granting individual relegious freedom and denying the state's relegious affiliation is unacceptable in an Islamic state, And of course a Muslim believes that his religion is true while others are false, like any relegious person would when he enters a relegion what's the mystery here? how's that intolerant? you have been fed with a vast amount of bullshit that you're contradicting yourself big time, you have a problem with Islam's message and i would hope you don't call yourself a Muslim
You never have to tell me why I should care about international relations, I'm always interested to hear the spilling of the geopolitical tea
Sorry but to ignore Iran in this conversation is kind of an error.
HAHAHA I stopped watching after the intro when he totally left out Iran out of the equasion.
They didn't ignore Iran but they didn't talk about them much.
Simply because Iran isnt a player anymore after losing the war against iraq
The video was about the two sunni blocks.
Talking about Iran would make this a much different and MUCH longer video.
Yeah Iran and Israel are powerful nations of Middle east
This was a decent video but there was a huge mistake at 3:12. Islamic democracy? First of all, Qatar is not democratic in any way, shape or form. Turkey is a REPUBLIC it is explicitly NOT an 'Islamic Democracy'. It is true that Erdoğan runs Turkey but the democratic system has held in no thanks to him, his government, or his party which has attacked democratic norms in Turkey. The Mulsim Brotherhood are not interested in democracy either.
He clearly said Democracy in a way that implied he believed the opposite was true.
@@briano7986 MB is predicated on democracy. Egypt first democratically elected leader was a proponent of mb
Exactly in fact the Muslim brotherhood arose from opposition to Attaturk's reforms and modernization of the Turkish nation
Not every country needs democracy look at Americas nuff said it only works in a technically advanced country with high level education and it quite terrible look at Muslim brotherhood and US democracy aka IT DOESNT WORK!!!!!!! Keeping religious zealots under control is necessary to survival. The last thing the Muslim world needs IS DEMOCRACY!!!!! Aka Democrazy. Democracy only works in Europe cause a large % of the people are ATHEISTS!!!!! So yes US will eventually be forced to abandon democracy or end up like an Islamic shithole. Religious people should not vote or be in government!!!!!

Thank you for this one. This was very enlightening:)
Thanks for this one. Most content on ME geopolitics focuses on Iran vs KSA..
Because it's the most relevant. This is just a different, less prevalent subject. Not even an actual conflict.

True.
The Turkish people have a democracy still, I didn't buy the whole staged coup thing and I don't think the Turks want him anymore but Turks correct me if wrong.

Thanks for the video. Honestly I was expecting to see more between Saudi and Turkey (video is mostly focussed on Qatar-Turkey relations). For example Saudi boycotting Turkey, Saudi Israel relationship, Egypte siding, Mediterranean issue etc.
Saudi Israel relationship!! Saudi do not recognize Isreal and had no economic nor military relations with Israel.
On the otherhand turkey had the biggest economic relation with Israel in the middle east and they have Israeli weapon companies on their soil!! Erdogan just visited Zionist regime so what you think about that ?
@@KGF-zf2qj uae normalized relations with Israel and that could not be done unless Saudi Arabia said so. Israel traded with Saudi Arabia and still does. Israel is against turkey in every aspect. How come I never see Israel making propaganda against Saudi Arabia? Because Saudi Arabia is a Zionist partner. But they do it against turkey. Saudi Arabia acts like they have no relations but they really do. While Turkey was supporting Palestine Saudi Arabia was funding Palestinian genocide.
@Timur Serdengeçti

As an answer to that question, look the war in Yemen, Azerbaijan and other areas around those countries. Who could have imagined 10 years ago a mandatory conscription in the UAE? Saudi and Bahrain are on the way too, not far from now. Surely bellies in those countries would start to shrink over the upcoming years!
Fascinating, I'd not heard that about the Arab Spring before
Maybe a subtle fact, but Turkey is not an Arab country nor an Arabic Language speaking country, making the situation a bit different than an Arab cold war
هلا من الإمارات العربية المتحدة ابوظبي 🇦🇪☪️🕌
Hello from the united Arab Emirates 🇦🇪☪️🕌
I think the video is quite outdated. First political islam in Turkey is a lost cause and ironically it is done by Erdogan himself. Currently there no islamist left in AKP. There are only people who seeks benefit by being 100% loyal to Erdogan. I can say that politcal islam has no chance of survival even in Turkey. In the rest of the world muslim brotherhood is far from being a threat to any one. On the other hand crown prince of UAE MNZ was in Turkey lastweek making approx. 10 bn $ agreement in return moving its goods via Turkish ports. So long story short your video is no more valid.
5:07 Where did u get this t-shirt from? Its amazing!! Oh, I guess that is also a good question.

From the Quatar standpoint this analysis omits another major alliance, that with the US. Remember that the US has a major military base in Doha and that they too contribute to security of the country.
This is covered somewhere around the 7min mark in the video.
@Moris this is true however I think the Qatari government is well aware that if hostilities ever erupted, the United States would side with Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Bringing in Turkish military bases in Qatar was basically a way to hedge all their best and plan for every possible outcome. It was in a way a stroke of genius on the part of the Qatari strategic thinkers.
For Saudi Arabia and the UAE to make a physical move on Qatar they'd basically have to convince both Turkey and the United States to walk away. No easy task convincing both. Which basically means Qatar is safe.
Qatar's hosting of an American military base does nothing but improve U.S. interests in the region. Perhaps, Qatar is paid handsomely for thr hosting but not much is done for Qatar geopolitically outside of that. If the Saudis and Emirstis had fallen through with removing the Qatari leadership in 2017, the US troops there surely would have not got involved. For this reason, Turkey decided to build a base immediately on Qatari soil. Apparently, this hindered Saudi-Emirati interests to remove the Qatari leadership. Turkey gained a wealthy ally in the process that was able to funnel billions of dollars in aid to the Turkish economy.

Those sanctions on Qatar was for routinely supporting rebels in Syria that were not approved by NATO allies. They were well deserved.
Those sanctions achieved next to nothing. Qatar went out & ordered 100 F16's from the US & 100 Rafael's from France. They had no want, need, or intention to purchase said aircraft. They don't have the ground crews or pilots to operate such a number of planes. But they laid down a huge deposit so the US & European Union ignored Saudis blockade, & the Saudis weren't going to stop ships/planes from those regions, so the blockade did nothing. (I know nothing about whether the blockade was deserved or not. Just impressed how they beat it. Turns out we're as susceptible to bribery as anyone)
@@tsubadaikhan6332 Their currency took a dive, so there is that outcome; very interesting what youve said.
At the time oil scarcity was also up. Major oil producers Libya and Syria weren't able to keep their exports up. They were Russian allies in OPEC, the US's allies in OPEC allowed prices to drop despite this increased scarcity. Qatar didn't align themselves with this move, so this might have also been a motivation for the sanctions. To tank their currency and make them increase production.
@@dimitriantanov3150 That increased oil production dropping prices had the added benefit of bankrupting many US based Fracking & Shale operations. Practically none of them have reopened despite todays high prices. There's always wheels within wheels.
If you read comments regularly you've probably also noticed most US voters are convinced their President sets the oil price, & it has nought to do with the Russians & OPEC. Bizarre.
@@dimitriantanov3150 Qatar is still an American ally. You have to mention the American Udeid base in Qatar to see why the West is so unwilling to do something to Qatar.
Incredibly biased and ill-researched video.
There’s no issues with Islamic democracy if people of a country want it. What’s wrong is the absolute monarchies and dictatorships that grip the people of a country and don’t let them evolve. What’s worse is the constant interference of the West in the Middle East and dictation to their countries for how they should be governed. In the end, most of the worst governments in the Middle East are there, or have been there, because of Western and primarily US support - Hosni Mubarak, the Saudis, Saddam Hussain, etc etc.
If you don’t allow a country to run its course, threat of extremism will never finish.
As for why Muslim Brotherhood was designated a terrorist group by the US? Of course the Saudis pressured them to do it as they threaten Saudi legitimacy. Before the revolution happened in Egypt, they weren’t really labelled as a terrorist group.
This video speaks like a mouthpiece for Saudi amd UAE. Why would you rely on an Emirati kings view of why Muslims are not ready for a democracy? Iran had a moderate democracy more than two decades ago which was overthrown by the CIA as it didn’t suit its motives. Pakistani moderate democracy has been overthrown many times by generals supported by the US. Egyptian democracy was highjacked by Saudi and US collusion. Only surviving democracies are Turkey, Indonesia and Malaysia at the moment, however proof of the pudding is that Muslims are highly capable of moderate democracies but the West’s self-serving intentions have always scuppered them and then changed the narrative.
Also your video says Arab spring came about because Turkey and Qatar financed it. Tsk tsk. It was homegrown revolutions, maybe helped by Turkey and Qatar later as they had good intentions towards the people of those countries. But ultimately sabotaged by Saudis, UAE and the US as it threatened their governments or their interests.
Morsi was a islamist
Your argument falls apart because there never really were democracies in the Middle East or Islamic world to begin with (besides Turkey for a period of just 90 years until Erdogan lost his mind!). All of these countries were created by colonial powers to keep the region in check, for Cold War play, and for resource extraction for which the local population initially had no interest/demand for.
Furthermore, everyone needs to accept that there is simply a clash of civilizations in the general populations at play here and we are talking about between the Islamic world and non-Islamic world. The majority of Muslims just don’t believe/accept in the basic tenets of human rights and most of the scientific scholarly work that the rest of the world does which creates a big gap in bridging between the two vastly different regions.
Likewise, while the West which until the late 16th or early 17th century used to be politically/culturally very similar to present Islamic world, it underwent Christian reformation which reduced religion to private life. Islamic world hasn’t gone through that reformation process yet so applying democracy on such people simply won’t work for now.
I don’t know whether democracy is the solution to the myriad of problems that currently exist in the Islamic world as we know that other countries have undergone development using other political systems, China is an example. However, let’s just say for the sake of argument that these Muslim countries become Islamic states. Now assuming that all the Islamic scholars, politicians, and local people are able to agree on the right interpretation of the Islamic law and are able to devise some sort of a political system, the new problem that arises is that historically speaking the basis of Islam relies on conquering non-Muslim world and constant warfare just for the sake of religion as the religion does not believe in national borders with no actual concern for human economic/social development and the betterment of the material conditions.
Therefore, the situation cannot simply be reduced to blaming the West for the current problems of the Middle East.
@@karankapoor2701 Regardless of what we believe Morsi is or isn't doesn't change the fact the majority of voters in that country voted for him.

Of course you will ignore the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt and exiled to Turkey.
And that the Arabs remember the rule of the Ottoman Empire and therefore any Turkish intervention in Arab affairs is considered to be Turkish imperialism.

No chance. There is simply not the underlying civil structure that did exist in France back then and so far Saudi Arabia is not indebted as much as the French Crown was back then, which just conjured up the political crisis that led up to the revolution.
What is most likely to happen if MBS fucks up more stuff, is that parts of his family that still retain some extent of power and influence will conspire either to oust him from his position as crown prince and replace him by one of his brothers or cousins, or to have some accident happen to him if everything else fails.

Well I understand Qatar is more worried about Saudi Arabia right now but doesn't Qatar seem threatened too by Muslim brotherhood means it is actually a monarchy too.Isn't it like feeding a snake which will bite others but it can bite you too.
It's kind of a meme in the Arab world that the muslim brotherhood is unsurprisingly quiet on Qatar's monarchy because they are the ones keeping them fed.

Qatar has a small population which in the end is very comfortable and highly unlikely to start a revolution against the monarchy.
Saudi Arabia however has been a revolution waiting to happen since it's inception. Context matters.
@@williamdavis9562 Saudis love their monarchs. The young population ( a majority) loves MBS and King Salman to the fact that Nationalism is on the highest levels ever seen. So no, you are wrong about Saudi being a revolution waiting to happen especially after we have seen what failures they have become in places like Tunisia and Egypt. Keep the wishful thinking.
@@binabdoh6436 I'd imagine those who benefit from that corrupt regime would love them.
I'd imagine those who dont' benefit would be scared to speak up.
So yes, in a way what you say makes sense. Unfortunately it doesn't make any headway in dispelling my earlier point.
It is kinda simplistic to summarize the Arab spring as a one group/country pipedream, it is in fact bordering racisme to reduce the revolts of multiple nations against dictatorships to a merly one islamic group ideology experiment.
some fact checks:
In yemen the main faction that Saudis are fighting are not sunni (as in the Muslim brotherhood) in fact quit the opposit
The dictatorship in Sudan was already Muslim Brotherhood for the last 40 years before the revolution (probably the reason the global players let it slide relatively peacefuly) and now trying to install a new one that is not affiliated with the group.
In Libya it was called a revolution (as it is) and the Global intervention was swift because Qaddafi was not an ally of the west (not talking to you Italy).
currently there is an ongoing coup in the most promising democracy in the middle east (outside Israel) with Europe looking the other way.
And finally, we lost almost 1 million of my country people in Syria, not because we were Muslim brotherhoods, but because people like yourself in the well established democracies are reducing the struggles of many, into a shallow and superficial cockfights.
I expected more from this channel that I used to like!
I am curious - Who is the most promising democracy in the middle east you mention in your comment? Can you expand on what coup is going on in which Europe is looking to the other side?
Thanks! I just realised that I forgot to name the country :), it is Tunisia, and it is currently going through the most bizarre cop, where the president suddenly assumed all powers and suspended the parliament, and EU is yet to be even concerned!
@Nisr Masry88 𓅓𓁺𓄿𓁼𓃭𓎦𓏭 𓂝 well the whole discussion started by talking about the "Arab Spring", and it acutely started with revolution in Tunisia, so in this regard Tunisia has everything to do with this struggle,
As for the names; middle east is actually is a political term, where North Africa is a geopolitical term, maybe to correct this confusion we should start using the term "West Asia" :)

Turkey, stop occupying your Syrian Muslim brothers and help the Yemenese prevent the Saudi Arabians from destroying their country and most of all Help the Palestinians to Freedom.
excluding iran, especially its proxies colonizing iraq, syria, lebanon, and yemen was a mistake

For pete sake British people, make it a habit to brush your teeth regularly... This guy,s teeth is unbearable to watch
I know right! Yuck 🤢 🤮
His teeh may be stained by coffe, cigarette smoke or wine. Doesnt mean he doesnt brush regularly.
Dont be so rude ya.
@@maxamillionfrontiers9768
Yep. I have a friend who also have those kind of teeth even he always brushes his teeth. His teeth is just a bit yellow but it dont smell. He just dont go to the dentist like as often as we do to deep clean or whiten our teeth.
Yessir
I actually like that guitar like instrument.
How are your teeth sooo yellow? It looks like uranium cakes
Indeed. Go see the dental hygienist
Exactly what I was thinking...I was about to say that...his yellow teeth is so distracting I can't bare to watch him
Too much tea, too little brushing.

This video points only small part of the regional story. And everything is changing quickly in the region. Yesterday Turkey and UAE agreed on economical and political terms. UAE will be investing $10 billion in Turkey. The details of the agreement is not clear yet, but it seems the KSA-UAE unity takes another hit, one of many in recent times. Turkey and Qatar will most likely continue to act together, both sides have too much at stake. It will not be affected even after Turkey has a new leadership.
The royal family trying to defend themselves and befriend everyone. It’s a good move but if you look at history. That might not work well for long time
Also the Houthis from Yemen are actually bombing KSA now. The war down south has really turned against them.
🤔
@@Qfoxrythm You mean that al-Houthi receives great blows and defeats in Ma'rib and Hodeidah, and severe blows in Sana'a, which is run by the Iranian Hassan Erlo! Saudi Arabia has good defenses and its borders have not been exposed to anything. The end of Iran's plans in Yemen is near.
An enemy of my enemy is...
The report that you presented which implicates Egypt and the UAE in the turky coup was written by al-jazzera which is owned by Qatar which is kinda sus
Your prediction of a direct military conflict between the UAE and Turkey is quite ridiculous.
The UAE will continue to poke Turkey in the eye as long as it feels it is protected by the United States. Once the UAE feels that protection is waning, they will simply bribe Turkey to leave them alone.
The gulf in military strength between these two nations is far too great for the UAE to take any chances of it happening.
Uae funds opposition, Kurdish,democratic army in Syria,&haftar in lybia..in addition Erdogan is involved militarily so his economy is declining ...uae want to make alliance against iran
"The Middle East is a place which is geographically as close to the west as is socially, politically and culturally distant." This statement sums it up.
Dont forget "religiously"
Islam is the primary reason why the middle east is so fucked up

@@-AwaleAbdi- What is it?
Will there be an open conflict between these powers? Not ever. In fact the Saudis just made a new pact with Turkey to put past tenses behind. The UAE just visited Turkey for the first time in more then 10 years and greeted the Turkish people for the warm welcome. He granted an investment of 10billion in the Turkish economy. This is all powerplay for muslims to see whom is more deservant and worthy. It will mever actually come to direct confrontation even if they face eachother on the battlefield like they did in Libya (Turkey and Qatar vs Egypt and The UAE). Both need to step up their game and still prove to the muslim world whom is most worthy of honouring muslims and islam the best.
How about Al Ula's agreement and the diplomatic reapproachment recently
I think it is important to note that Qatar's wealth derives from its natural wealth in natural gas and not petroleum. The Qatari economy in the long term is expected to remain stable and wealth. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia( GDP based on Oil=80%), needs to revamp its economy for long term stability due to Western policy moves towards sustainable energy. The Saudis may be thinking about annexing Qatar for thst natural gas.
I don't see natural gas a safe bet even in near future. renewables are aiming for both electricity and heating which are main uses for gas.
That's why they hosted the WC so that they can raise awareness of their Sovereignty globally which hampers Saudi ability to invade.
They also paid and built Turkish military base in Qatar and have touted a Turkish naval base as threat to Saudi....
Saudi have since backdown with MBS even attending the opening ceremony of the WC and ending the blockade
Quite biased
They focused on turkey and Qatar more than the other side
And there is 2 things he got wrong :
1st was that Qatar didn't instigate the Arab spring it truly was populist and stared in Tunis because a average man burned himself after his vegetables cart was confiscated but the just went with the wave supporting it mostly with al Jazeera covering and this gets us too the second one
2nd Muslim brotherhood is only an Egyptian organization based and founded in Egypt it's not global uae pines any political party that has Islamic background or founding & tendencies or is just plain conservative as a part of the islamic brotherhood
A side note he didn't speak about the current counter revolution in which the uae side puts military and authoritarian regimes all over the region
and beneath them all corruption lies and muslim nation pays their debt.
erdoğan bought all the media with the borrowed money from the banks and mortgaged that debt with his borrowed land from the country then later pays nothing and owned them all
whom his son mur*dered a person with his car then tried to clean the body with firefighters which his close family friend? who drowned the country with usury since he came to power(80bil when he came now its 600bil) ? erdoğan. who sold all the factories that was belonged to the turkey to the west? erdoğan. who made a 1 billion dolar worth bridge for 8 billion dolar and for 25 years he gave it to the western world made us pay it while his company made billions of dollars from interest money?erdoğan litterally handed over uygur turks to china when they protested and his party stopped recognition of genocide of uygurs in parlement.

Attempting to control the middle East ??? 😁 Funny .
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ ٱللَّٰ
Anatolia [currently Turkey], Persia [currently Islamic Republic of Iran], and Egypt [formerly Khem, Misr] have fought for control of the Middle East for millennia. More recently you can add Saudi Arabia [formerly الإمارات في نجد والحجاز] which dreams of Empire and Caliphate but is despised by Persians, Turks and Egyptians. Of this area the old saying is true, "there is nothing new under the sun!"
Look at Seljuks, Memluks, Ottomans and other Turkic empires in that region. Turks controled the region with no civil wars for centuries, until 20th century. I don't say we can or should do that again. I just say that Turkish people have these centuries in their minds when Turkey helps a country like Qatar or Libya for peace. Why do you think Erdogan takes that much vote eventhough he screwed at economy or refugee crisis :D Because he tries to convience every nation in middle east for "muslim brotherhood"-stuff, you know, he is using the memories
Until the 1900s a regional hegemon has always risen to rule that region.
I'd imagine given enough time history will repeat itself, especially when oil becomes irrelevant and major global powers have zero interest in that region. Turkey and Iran will probably fight over which of them will control that entire region.
It's funny that U guys published this video right after the crown prince of Abu Dhabi Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan met with Erdoğan in Turkey and agreed on Billions of Dollars of investment from Qatar to Turkey.
