Language is really amazing, watching this I'm picking up so many Swahili words. Swahili is n East African language that developed from Arabic. For instance, I could instantly pick up faras (horse) farasi in Swahili, taifa (nation), also taifa in Swahili and fadhal (please) tafadhali in Swahili. Those Arabian horses are stunning!
You're right lots of Arabic words are found in Swahili like Tabibu (in Arabic: Tabeeb) and Dafeeina (from Dafn which is burial; in Arabic the word Kanz is used instead as it means treasure). Btw Tafadhali in Arabic means Come in/You're welcome (feminine) both come from the same root Fadhl (kindness/ favour).
Reform in Saudi Arabia is akin turning an oil tanker, it starts slow, but once it starts there is no going back. MBS knows this, he knows things can't carry on as they were, and he has the foresight to see what direction his country has to take to have a better tomorrow for the Saudi people, but change can be painful.

Briefly skimmed this video: 1. Prince Saud bin Nayef was never considered Crown Prince. His brother was. 2. That poor bookstore didn't know what the reporter was saying. That was barely Arabic. He literally said; "News, Reporter?", in a terrible accent. The seller just told him: "There's lots of reporters in there, read and see, I don't read the papers". That reporter has the nerve to assume that he is avoiding the question or something. He didn't even understand your two word enquiry.
Although an informative documentary, I think the producers should allow the viewers the autonomy to form their own opinions rather than the presenters views which are pre-determined from the start, ill judged, poor, and filled with so much negativity. Having visited Saudi Arabia on many occassions, i found the people and the country to be beautiful and welcoming. Saudi Arabia is a country steeped in rich history and culture. I pray that Allah protects the country especially the holy sanctuaries and city of Makkah al Mukkarama and and Madinah al Munawarra and i pray that Saudi Arabia has a bright and successful future with stability.
Criticism is alright provided it is not directed at the powerful one, once any Jounalist makes that fatal mistake, he will meet the same fate as Khashoggi, no matter where you are or hiding outside of Saudi Arabia. Obviously, the message is heard clearly and loudly by all now after what happened in Turkey.
I agree with that guy " rich " is relative 😂😂😂 you can be rich with 1million ,100 million,500 million this goes with "broke" too 😂...i feel like the whole point of this video is to show the world that Americans discovered oil in there and not Saudis😂😂 you saw how that guy told the lady" if its not for the Americans who worked there she probably wouldnt have worked there for 20 years". Americans and entitlement 😂😂🤦🏿♀️
We’re not saying all people don’t talk about king family because they’re respect them we can see clearly fear in all of them eyes. Why is this freedom?
The greatest feeling I’ve ever had was when I got the final exist stamp on my passport and left the country. I cannot put in words how liberating and uplifting that felt! I urge any non-Saudis living in Saudi to do whatever it takes to get out of it, if not for yourselves, do it for your kids.
@@ramelep the fact that I had zero rights despite being born and raised there. When I was a kid, I didn’t give it much thought because you don’t know any better if that’s what you’ve had from day 1, but the older you get the more you realize how bad and inhuman the laws are. I got my first job in Khubar in 2007 and that was an eye opener.. they took my passport away and gave me an ID (iqama) as if I’d just moved to the country. And there’s no way you can leave the country if they don’t grant you a re-entry visa. My friends had it worse, their kafeels “sponsors” were independent individuals who used to exploit them financially just like the old days (but hey, we no longer use the word “slavery”, okay?) The religious police were like the angels of death and they used to pop out of nowhere wherever you go (if you’re not with a family, you’re a potential sex offender and should be treated as such even if all you’re doing is having a meal..) I understand most of the foreigners in Saudi are desperate people from poor, less fortunate countries, but I really think their kids deserve better. Saudi is not for foreigners, deal with it.
@@freddiet.4200 I’m so grateful you shared with me. Very very insightful! Your views are respected. How do you think Saudi Arabia would treat me? A black single male..
@@ramelep what fadi said is kinda the truth of the dark side of Saudi. However, a lot of change is currently happening since the Saudi vision 2030. I expect what Fadi said will not happen anymore with the laws currently being passed. What you are asking about is racism and I believe you will not see any. Laws against racism are strict nowadays and if convicted heavy fines and jail time is expected.
Arab writer Abdulrahman Al Kawakibi writes: “Oppression manipulates facts in people’s minds, leading people to believe that whoever seeks truth is sinful, that whoever abandons his rights is obedient, that the one who cries out [against oppression] is mischievous, that the perceptive and intelligent are godless, and that the useless one is upright. It transforms genuine advice into intrusiveness, caring for others into enmity, magnanimity into transgression, enthusiasm/zeal into foolishness, mercy into illness, just as it considers hypocrisy to be a policy, manipulation to be civility, and pettiness/villainy to be kindness.”
Very jealous and envy reporter No body cares what the west thinks you can't impose us what you believe you better respect our values and culture huge love from Somali Canadian
I understood your point for these documentary, but 2 questions I have for you . What's your name and which language were you conversing while addressing to the camera . And... How do you understand and speak Arabic with the locals ?
Unfortunately, too many reporters choose to go to the worst parts of Riyadh to "show" what Saudi is. The reality is 100% of those living in this old areas are not Saudis. They are migrant workers from India, Pakistan, etc. who fill up these old neighbourhoods for the cheap rent. Literally drive a few kilometers in any direction and you will see a metropolis of modern architecture and technology. It's a real shame that so many people in these comments are convinced that this is Saudi.
I’m Saudi unfortunately there was some spices been added to the report For example The prince he wasn’t granted as crown prince before , that was his brother and for god sake 😂 he won’t buy the winning horse if he don’t win 😂😂😂 Unsubscribe from Netflix 😂😂😂
Many people have been killed in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon, Libya and Afghanistan, but you are all just hypocrites who are controlled by money. Salute to Prince bin Salman
With GDP Percapita in Saudi $23.000, compare to GDP Percapita India $2.000, GendeR inequality index Saudi rank 52, while India rank in 123 out of 160 countries. You should make documentary about indian women.
The horses are so clearly terrified of those whips-in fact, I’d posit that they don’t want to be at the show at all, forced to move and stand as the human wants. This isn’t just a Saudi issue but a worldwide one and calls for a new way of thinking about how we interact with animals
Your country is blessed 👌🏿 that we can't take away ...i always wonder why this particular country is attacked as if its the only one in middle east 😂😂🤦🏿♀️...every country has both n good side of it not Saudi only
The host’s comments on Muhammad Abd-Al-Wahhab were both loaded and incorrect. There are many contradictory statements, books, and think pieces on him and what he stood for but the vast majority of said works come directly from his haters. He was a reformer and Imam that returned the people to traditional Islam and advised them against religious deviations and misguidance. If the host actually read his books, he’d know better. One can easily see that the host looks at Islam and most tradition with disgust and his words and perspective should be taken with less than a grain of salt.
VERY IMPORTANT: You did not show Bin Naif in you documentary, this is Sultan Bin Khaled that you were referring to ad Mohammed Bin Naif. There is 0 chances of you capturing Bin Naif on Camera now since he is imprisoned.
Unfortunately the real video author made the real one unavailable to be streamed in Saudi so we can’t share our opinions on how misleading this documentary is. It’s only made available to the American public for the American people to brainwash them.
The journalist speaks from a mindset of 20 years ago and visits the Saudi Arabia of today 2021. Clearly biased at times and knows society’s red lines yet wants to provoke a response regardless. No Saudi will openly criticise the royal family, government and religion and that should be respected.
Agree...he is pushing it and is irritating me at moments as well...he is putting them on the spot so he is not getting any answers so he is making assumptions..🇬🇷🙋♀️
You must be a foreigner who depend from the royal family to support your family. Ask yourself, is the "royal family" provide the same rights to all? I don't know what Allah will do with these governments worldwide!
@@orlandoselles7926 no I don’t rely on support from the government thank you for your observation. In Arabian custom 2 things are red lines. Religion and the leader(s).

I don’t think it’s blindly , it’s out of fear , fear of losing their wealth , fear of lifetime incarceration, fear of beheading and or anything their King will do to them.
The Crown prince is making significant reforms and trying to create opportunities for the young Saudi's. There will be stumbles and obstacles, but he needs the West to support him. Reforms and changes will happen ,on Saudi time , not Western time
He is so rude. When that man invited him into the mosque and he says "twisted ideology is responsible for violence", complete lack of manners. When someone, especially a powerful man takes the time and makes the effort to share his culture with you , don't be disdainful and show contempt. I couldn't watch anymore after that, too much cringe.

Very misled reporter who has a lot of false thoughts on a country that has welcomed him with so much generosity and open mind yet he was looking to confirm all the wrong thought he had. Weak and coward act. Saudi has nothing to hide, and all the wrong doing was in the past but you can't hold us accountable forever, because if we still want to be stuck on the past then you shouldn't be speaking French.
You are totally right and exactly expressing my thoughts. This guy says he wants to explore the new modern Saudi Arabia and yet he shows a friendly open-minded face to his interviewees (who were extremely kind and welcoming to him) and shows an ugly face when narrating in English or Dutch. He didn't give any importance in his documentary to the huge positive changes led by the government in a '''before - after'' mode but instead kept reinforcing old false stereotypes that would attract more youtube views and clicks. The worst thing was seeing kind and welcoming Saudi people talking to him before his editing; it was like stabbing in the back. On the other hand, an intelligent viewer would clearly see how intelligent and bright Saudi people are....the future Saudi is coming, and the west will realise that sooner or later....
Theyve got this guy to go round saudi looking for as many faults as possible and if you cant find any then just make them up as you go along. A great documentary twisted and far from facts.
There is no freedom of speech in Saudi Arabia . Arab people are rude and not friendly at all . Just because we love this country for our Prophet (PBUH) who belong to this place.

It's interesting to see the comments from people depending on where they live, how they live, their own experiences , what they have been taught and their exposure to other people in other countries and cultures. As an American, I find my country to be very insular, maybe because we aren't close to countries other than Canada and Mexico. I will have to say that there are things in some other cultures that I can't respect and will never accept. As for the Saudi government taking care of it's citizens? I think that's the way things should be, but in my country, ,people spend millions to convince people to vote against their own self interest. I was sitting in bed, having my coffee, watching the news before getting ready for work, and saw the first tower burning and then out of the corner of my eye I saw a plane. It didn't really register with me, I was watching the other tower and then BAM!!!!! Horrible. I realize it made many people very happy. People and countries have many sides, they are never just one thing, but the bottom line is, for me. where ever I have traveled I find kind, wonderful and lovely people. I never would want to cross MBS, I will tell you that. He's smart, he knows the demographic of his country, and he knows what is needed to move forward and the only way they can survive is to move forward, the oil is not infinite.
@@petermclelland278 True but I see changes in America and it has happened with the support for Donald Trump. IF he is elected again, God forbid, he will continue what he started, stifling journalists (wow where has THAT ever happened in the world?), weaponizing the Department Of Justice against his enemies, and further packing the Supreme Court with his cronies and also the Federal Justice courts. We are on a slippery slope here. You can see where we head by the people Trump admires and wants to emulate. Look at what's happening in Poland and Hungary. They spilled blood for their freedom and now they are ready to give it away. I think that after a time, the fighting and sacrifice and the way things were under a totalitarian government fade away (look at the number of holocaust deniers) and people become complacent and they really don't realize what they are giving up. There's a big difference between democratic socialism and totalitarianism. I hope Saudi Arabia and the other gulf states will thrive in the future.

If he really believes that Criticizing the House of Saud is dangerous, then he wouldn't be doing it himself, unless he thinks he has some Protection somewhere, but that protection could only come from the Saudi Royal Family. Also, what I heard was that the Journalist involved had been an actual friend of Crown Prince MBS in their younger days, and in Saudi Arabia he was very supportive of MBS and his Projects, but once he had a Foreign Journalist Post in Washington DC, his new career seemed to be pivoting around moving an Arab Spring Style Revolution to Saudi Arabia. Was he working with the CIA? This was PERSONAL as much as it was Political. The President of the USA had recognized before the World the Ascendency and Legitimacy of the Power granted by the House of Saud to Crown Prince MBS, and that Journalist was jeopardizing it all by implying that MBS was somehow footdragging on all of the Reforms he had promised, but, Politics are Politics everywhere, and the Left must be balanced against the Right, and social change should be measured and controlled because nobody would want Saudi Arabia to jump track and go off the rails, right? But the Journalist wished to gain popularity in the USA by fanning the flames of all the Hatred in America for Saudi Arabia that arose after the Twin Towers Terror Attack, where the Air Bourne Element was almost entirely of Saudi Arabians, the leader from the leading family of Bin Ladens. A true friend of Saudi Arabia, and a good Citizen, and an Old Friend of the Crowned Prince, would have been more concerned with Damage Control and winning American Hearts and Minds. Instead he committed treason against the monarchy, the Royal House that had Educated him and even had employed him. He had presented himself as a Loyal Servant and Friend of the House of Saud, and looks what he does to pander to the Americans, who would have to admit that they sometimes play rough themselves, with their Crime Families and CIA Assassins. Yeah, the creator narrator of this Video is only trying to make a name for himself by thumbing his nose at the House of Saud, while he believes it popular. But the Royal Family need not react, but every Friend of the Royal Family in Arabia should know how to receive, or not receive this Troublemaker into their Bars or Restaurants, Shops, or Saloons. Treat him like a flea infested dog, and chase him away with brooms. Thumbs Down! Oh! at the end he does his best to get that old Editor in Chief in trouble too. This is what is wrong with Journalists, they simply want to maximize the Troubles that each Society is going through. then why are they surprised that after looking so hard for trouble, that they should actually find It.

This entire documentary seems more like an interrogation of Saudi and of the people he interviewed. Overly dramatized. I didn’t enjoy it.
He really went to Aramco and wore an Adidas track suit jacket😂🙄
This guy has balls made of titanium
Criticism is alright provided it is not directed at the powerful one, once any Jounalist makes that fatal mistake, he will meet the same fate as Khashoggi, no matter where you are or hiding outside of Saudi Arabia. Obviously, the message is heard clearly and loudly by all now after what happened in Turkey.
You see a guy unfamiliar with you, and you ambush him with private questions like this with a camera in his face what do you expect?
I know, right? What an honor to have gone into such a historic mosque and he disrespected his host
It’s blind following when Saudi Arabia is an amazing place lead by great and amazing leaders
You can’t just say blindly… they aren’t blind neither literally nor figuratively… more like loyally, and profitably ))
I agree with that guy " rich " is relative 😂😂😂 you can be rich with 1million ,100 million,500 million this goes with "broke" too 😂...i feel like the whole point of this video is to show the world that Americans discovered oil in there and not Saudis😂😂 you saw how that guy told the lady" if its not for the Americans who worked there she probably wouldnt have worked there for 20 years". Americans and entitlement 😂😂🤦🏿♀️
Such an unbelievably good documentary.
The title is exactly how it is there and it says everything about it
We’re not saying all people don’t talk about king family because they’re respect them we can see clearly fear in all of them eyes. Why is this freedom?
The greatest feeling I’ve ever had was when I got the final exist stamp on my passport and left the country. I cannot put in words how liberating and uplifting that felt! I urge any non-Saudis living in Saudi to do whatever it takes to get out of it, if not for yourselves, do it for your kids.
What did you Not like about Saudi Arabia?
@@ramelep the fact that I had zero rights despite being born and raised there. When I was a kid, I didn’t give it much thought because you don’t know any better if that’s what you’ve had from day 1, but the older you get the more you realize how bad and inhuman the laws are. I got my first job in Khubar in 2007 and that was an eye opener.. they took my passport away and gave me an ID (iqama) as if I’d just moved to the country. And there’s no way you can leave the country if they don’t grant you a re-entry visa. My friends had it worse, their kafeels “sponsors” were independent individuals who used to exploit them financially just like the old days (but hey, we no longer use the word “slavery”, okay?) The religious police were like the angels of death and they used to pop out of nowhere wherever you go (if you’re not with a family, you’re a potential sex offender and should be treated as such even if all you’re doing is having a meal..) I understand most of the foreigners in Saudi are desperate people from poor, less fortunate countries, but I really think their kids deserve better. Saudi is not for foreigners, deal with it.
@@freddiet.4200 I’m so grateful you shared with me. Very very insightful! Your views are respected.
How do you think Saudi Arabia would treat me? A black single male..
@@ramelep what fadi said is kinda the truth of the dark side of Saudi. However, a lot of change is currently happening since the Saudi vision 2030. I expect what Fadi said will not happen anymore with the laws currently being passed.
What you are asking about is racism and I believe you will not see any. Laws against racism are strict nowadays and if convicted heavy fines and jail time is expected.
@@turki1258 thank you 😊 for sharing. Your insight means the world to me
Arab writer Abdulrahman Al Kawakibi writes:
“Oppression manipulates facts in people’s minds, leading people to believe that whoever seeks truth is sinful, that whoever abandons his rights is obedient, that the one who cries out [against oppression] is mischievous, that the perceptive and intelligent are godless, and that the useless one is upright. It transforms genuine advice into intrusiveness, caring for others into enmity, magnanimity into transgression, enthusiasm/zeal into foolishness, mercy into illness, just as it considers hypocrisy to be a policy, manipulation to be civility, and pettiness/villainy to be kindness.”

And...
How do you understand and speak Arabic with the locals ?

Unfortunately, too many reporters choose to go to the worst parts of Riyadh to "show" what Saudi is. The reality is 100% of those living in this old areas are not Saudis. They are migrant workers from India, Pakistan, etc. who fill up these old neighbourhoods for the cheap rent. Literally drive a few kilometers in any direction and you will see a metropolis of modern architecture and technology. It's a real shame that so many people in these comments are convinced that this is Saudi.
I’m Saudi

For example

Many people have been killed in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon, Libya and Afghanistan, but you are all just hypocrites who are controlled by money. Salute to Prince bin Salman
With GDP Percapita in Saudi $23.000, compare to GDP Percapita India $2.000, GendeR inequality index Saudi rank 52, while India rank in 123 out of 160 countries. You should make documentary about indian women.

Saudi Arabia is a very advanced country while still hooding onto its values.
The horses are so clearly terrified of those whips-in fact, I’d posit that they don’t want to be at the show at all, forced to move and stand as the human wants. This isn’t just a Saudi issue but a worldwide one and calls for a new way of thinking about how we interact with animals
Greetings to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia moving forward and the dogs continue to bark ؟؟
Your country is blessed 👌🏿 that we can't take away ...i always wonder why this particular country is attacked as if its the only one in middle east 😂😂🤦🏿♀️...every country has both n good side of it not Saudi only
If the West is silent about you, you are on the wrong path, and if the West fights you, you are on the right path. Take it as a base 👌
great series , as a Canadian we love to know where are oil comes and to see how they live there ,keep it up ,good work including cameramen .
As Saudi Arabians we also want to see where the money comes from.. the westerns should stop feeling like they call the shorts
The host’s comments on Muhammad Abd-Al-Wahhab were both loaded and incorrect. There are many contradictory statements, books, and think pieces on him and what he stood for but the vast majority of said works come directly from his haters. He was a reformer and Imam that returned the people to traditional Islam and advised them against religious deviations and misguidance. If the host actually read his books, he’d know better. One can easily see that the host looks at Islam and most tradition with disgust and his words and perspective should be taken with less than a grain of salt.
Yes, he is being paid to slag off Saudi Arabia like many nefarious journalists
VERY IMPORTANT: You did not show Bin Naif in you documentary, this is Sultan Bin Khaled that you were referring to ad Mohammed Bin Naif. There is 0 chances of you capturing Bin Naif on Camera now since he is imprisoned.
VERY IMPORTANT: The comment isn't accurate. That was Saud Bin Nayef. Moh'd Bin Nayef's brother.

One sided guy. Completely useless.
I have never watched a single video about saudi arabia without them bringing oil subjects
As a Saudi the amount of lies and false informations this guy is bringing out of nowhere didn’t make me sad, I’m actually rolling right now 😂😂😭.
Unfortunately the real video author made the real one unavailable to be streamed in Saudi so we can’t share our opinions on how misleading this documentary is. It’s only made available to the American public for the American people to brainwash them.
Like what?
10:04 the lady just realized she is deep problems.
The journalist speaks from a mindset of 20 years ago and visits the Saudi Arabia of today 2021. Clearly biased at times and knows society’s red lines yet wants to provoke a response regardless. No Saudi will openly criticise the royal family, government and religion and that should be respected.
Agree...he is pushing it and is irritating me at moments as well...he is putting them on the spot so he is not getting any answers so he is making assumptions..🇬🇷🙋♀️
You must be a foreigner who depend from the royal family to support your family. Ask yourself, is the "royal family" provide the same rights to all? I don't know what Allah will do with these governments worldwide!
@@orlandoselles7926 no I don’t rely on support from the government thank you for your observation. In Arabian custom
2 things are red lines. Religion and the leader(s).
@@Qx1407 I appreciate your feedback. Yet, there is a misconception among these governments who use religion as the basis of controlling poverty, education, economy, and politics. Counting on their loyalties is distressing.
@@ΧριστίναΜαγουλα-β1ξ his assumptions are then deemed to be ‘truth’. It’s a bit distasteful at times like when he meets the prince he’s like hello oh btw how many family members are there ?
I don’t think it’s blindly , it’s out of fear , fear of losing their wealth , fear of lifetime incarceration, fear of beheading and or anything their King will do to them.
The Crown prince is making significant reforms and trying to create opportunities for the young Saudi's. There will be stumbles and obstacles, but he needs the West to support him. Reforms and changes will happen ,on Saudi time , not Western time
Sorry to disappoint you, but saudi gov just gives a nice paint to the outside but important major changes wont happen in this elitist gov.
Good docu! At last someone with guts to expose the charade!
Is he still alive? lol
He is so rude. When that man invited him into the mosque and he says "twisted ideology is responsible for violence", complete lack of manners. When someone, especially a powerful man takes the time and makes the effort to share his culture with you , don't be disdainful and show contempt. I couldn't watch anymore after that, too much cringe.
Cool! I love the word "cringe"! Well used to describe inert governments 👍👍👍👍👍

Very misled reporter who has a lot of false thoughts on a country that has welcomed him with so much generosity and open mind yet he was looking to confirm all the wrong thought he had. Weak and coward act. Saudi has nothing to hide, and all the wrong doing was in the past but you can't hold us accountable forever, because if we still want to be stuck on the past then you shouldn't be speaking French.
You are totally right and exactly expressing my thoughts. This guy says he wants to explore the new modern Saudi Arabia and yet he shows a friendly open-minded face to his interviewees (who were extremely kind and welcoming to him) and shows an ugly face when narrating in English or Dutch. He didn't give any importance in his documentary to the huge positive changes led by the government in a '''before - after'' mode but instead kept reinforcing old false stereotypes that would attract more youtube views and clicks. The worst thing was seeing kind and welcoming Saudi people talking to him before his editing; it was like stabbing in the back. On the other hand, an intelligent viewer would clearly see how intelligent and bright Saudi people are....the future Saudi is coming, and the west will realise that sooner or later....
I hope Alina is safe after this video

Never trust a 'documentary' that has dramatic music playing in the background very true

He is trying to prove something he believe ! But the truth is his believes are a built of imagination 💭
Theyve got this guy to go round saudi looking for as many faults as possible and if you cant find any then just make them up as you go along. A great documentary twisted and far from facts.
There is no freedom of speech in Saudi Arabia . Arab people are rude and not friendly at all . Just because we love this country for our Prophet (PBUH) who belong to this place.
Long live Saudi Arabia...the land of two holy mosques.

Interesting
What a biased documentary
It's interesting to see the comments from people depending on where they live, how they live, their own experiences , what they have been taught and their exposure to other people in other countries and cultures.
As an American, I find my country to be very insular, maybe because we aren't close to countries other than Canada and Mexico. I will have to say that there are things in some other cultures that I can't respect and will never accept.
As for the Saudi government taking care of it's citizens? I think that's the way things should be, but in my country, ,people spend millions to convince people to vote against their own self interest.
I was sitting in bed, having my coffee, watching the news before getting ready for work, and saw the first tower burning and then out of the corner of my eye I saw a plane. It didn't really register with me, I was watching the other tower and then BAM!!!!! Horrible. I realize it made many people very happy.
People and countries have many sides, they are never just one thing, but the bottom line is, for me. where ever I have traveled I find kind, wonderful and lovely people. I never would want to cross MBS, I will tell you that. He's smart, he knows the demographic of his country, and he knows what is needed to move forward and the only way they can survive is to move forward, the oil is not infinite.
He knows what's right for everyone if he controls the system that removes the ability to challenge it ? Not exactly the freedoms America fights for ?
@@petermclelland278 True but I see changes in America and it has happened with the support for Donald Trump. IF he is elected again, God forbid, he will continue what he started, stifling journalists (wow where has THAT ever happened in the world?), weaponizing the Department Of Justice against his enemies, and further packing the Supreme Court with his cronies and also the Federal Justice courts. We are on a slippery slope here. You can see where we head by the people Trump admires and wants to emulate.
Look at what's happening in Poland and Hungary. They spilled blood for their freedom and now they are ready to give it away. I think that after a time, the fighting and sacrifice and the way things were under a totalitarian government fade away (look at the number of holocaust deniers) and people become complacent and they really don't realize what they are giving up.
There's a big difference between democratic socialism and totalitarianism.
I hope Saudi Arabia and the other gulf states will thrive in the future.
@@petermclelland278 The so called freedoms the America government fights for is just an illusion to there citizen's for plans of expansion, control & profit.
All your so called democracy gets thrown in the bin when it's time for the corporations to lobby there agenders!!!
Also the Democrats & republicans are 2 sides of same coin. How because this system was put into place a long time ago to make it look like there was an opposition & another choice just in case you don't like one party & there ideals. You would vote for the other so no matter who wins its the same people in power!!!
Well said!

If he really believes that Criticizing the House of Saud is dangerous, then he wouldn't be doing it himself, unless he thinks he has some Protection somewhere, but that protection could only come from the Saudi Royal Family. Also, what I heard was that the Journalist involved had been an actual friend of Crown Prince MBS in their younger days, and in Saudi Arabia he was very supportive of MBS and his Projects, but once he had a Foreign Journalist Post in Washington DC, his new career seemed to be pivoting around moving an Arab Spring Style Revolution to Saudi Arabia. Was he working with the CIA? This was PERSONAL as much as it was Political. The President of the USA had recognized before the World the Ascendency and Legitimacy of the Power granted by the House of Saud to Crown Prince MBS, and that Journalist was jeopardizing it all by implying that MBS was somehow footdragging on all of the Reforms he had promised, but, Politics are Politics everywhere, and the Left must be balanced against the Right, and social change should be measured and controlled because nobody would want Saudi Arabia to jump track and go off the rails, right? But the Journalist wished to gain popularity in the USA by fanning the flames of all the Hatred in America for Saudi Arabia that arose after the Twin Towers Terror Attack, where the Air Bourne Element was almost entirely of Saudi Arabians, the leader from the leading family of Bin Ladens. A true friend of Saudi Arabia, and a good Citizen, and an Old Friend of the Crowned Prince, would have been more concerned with Damage Control and winning American Hearts and Minds. Instead he committed treason against the monarchy, the Royal House that had Educated him and even had employed him. He had presented himself as a Loyal Servant and Friend of the House of Saud, and looks what he does to pander to the Americans, who would have to admit that they sometimes play rough themselves, with their Crime Families and CIA Assassins. Yeah, the creator narrator of this Video is only trying to make a name for himself by thumbing his nose at the House of Saud, while he believes it popular. But the Royal Family need not react, but every Friend of the Royal Family in Arabia should know how to receive, or not receive this Troublemaker into their Bars or Restaurants, Shops, or Saloons. Treat him like a flea infested dog, and chase him away with brooms. Thumbs Down! Oh! at the end he does his best to get that old Editor in Chief in trouble too. This is what is wrong with Journalists, they simply want to maximize the Troubles that each Society is going through. then why are they surprised that after looking so hard for trouble, that they should actually find It.
Very thoughtful comment, thanks!
I don’t know what I saying to you, but your way of express your opinion is not right and from your accent I can expected that you are from German, and I want you to make documentary move about Red-Ball company and I can tell you from now they will not allows you to enter the building itself, however, Saudi Arabia is very important country and because of that a lots of human rights organizations try to manipulate the image of the country.
