As the Middle East has destabilized, the US-Saudi alliance has become more complicated. Read Vox reporter Matt Yglesias' argument for reconsidering the alliance here: bit.ly/2S6eAWM
If you look at where America gets its oil, the number one place is...the US. Second is Canada and third flips each year between Venezuela and Saudi Arabia. And only 7% of the oil is coming from the Middle East, most of which is coming from Saudi Arabia. I was stationed in the Middle East I saw convoys of oil being IMPORTED into Iraq to sustain the army there and empty trucks would return. If the goal was to maximize oil supplies it would be cheaper to have no army there. One M1 Abrams tank gets 2 gallons per mile. It’s fun to believe in conspiracy theories but these stories are getting American soldiers killed in the Middle East
That counter argument is really deceptive. Yes, the country supplies itself, but the companies that extract the oil and sell it around the globe have massive facilities in the middle east. It's a well-known fact that large oil companies are constantly lobbying American leaders to get the US Army to do their bidding. So yeah, *OIL EXISTS* *U.S. ARMY HAS JOINED THE SERVER*
Thats a lie. It started with the same goal of destabilizing the Middle East. Oil is just a plus. The Bin Laden's are the richest Real Estate family in Saudi Arabia. They attacked us on 9/11 so we could go into the Middle East.

@Lord Nerdecon wrong wrong and wrong. Saudi follows the sharia law {you said they dont, therefore proving you dont even know what you are talking about} and according to the sharia law Muslims are to live with ppl of different religions in harmony. Its true Muslims are not allowed to denounce their religions, because back in the religious war times; that was used as a tactic to manipulate ppl into converting. And no, Saudi does not treat ppl of different religions as slaves as written in the sharia law its not allowed, and in our modern days, human rights exist in shorts what you are saying is not true and if so i would like citations. I am not saying Saudis are perfect and i am not denying facts here; what some of what you're saying are lies, and some other stuff nowadays are taken completely out of context.
Americans pilots have been used to do this ... By Americans ... Saudis just have to sit back and see. .. they can't give Saudis training to fly f35 jets ... And for others fighter jets .

This is on top of all the research done beforehand to create the article. 60-120 minute documentaries take months or in some cases years to complete.

Most former Eastern bloc states today have horrible relations with the Russians. You know the Russians are not winning the influence game when even Ukraine is drifting away from them.
Just to make it clear for the good people, the war in yamen started after the houthi is trying to take over the Yemen supported by Iran so the Yemen's government ask the Saudi Arabia to get involved and help them instead the Saudi Arabia was trying to make all the involved parts to sit down on a table and discuss their own issue ( that's including the houthis ) but the houthis reply to that by attacking the SA borders .

@@cameronash5492 Not related to me, but most American History classes only go up until the 70's with a portion of the last chapter for the 80's to present. Even then ,they just give a gist of it. They litterly just mention we had 9/11 , WMD in Iraq, we invade and find nothing. Don't even explain Afghanistan. That's it on foreign policy.
We archive peace in war by only two ways. One party defeat the other party or value of gain is overwhelmed by lost of human life. These are the current options we have from our world history.

Funny how we don't care for human life yet we were willing to go to war with the nuclear armed Soviet Union to protect West Berlin, or South Korra from becoming part of the totalitarian concentration camp that is North Korea, or any country in NATO from becoming another Ukraine.
The thing is. The US doesn’t want a stable and democratic Middle East, as they would not be able to offer benefits of protection in stable regions. In collaboration with Israel, the US has tried to keep the region perpetually unstable, with their allies, whoever they might be (now, it’s Saudi Arabia, but at one point the US even rooted for Saddam Hussein) somewhat out of the commotion or actively fueling the conflicts even further with grave power imbalances. This is the problem that needs to be addressed.
@C caymer who are you referring to when you're talking about 'you Muslims'? While obviously very wrongly and shortsightedly, China has been doing this for not such a long time yet, and is already facing grave criticism. Meanwhile, the US and US-led coalitions have killed large numbers of innocents over the past several decades to further not their homeland security, but their economic interests. It's only logical that some Muslims feel an aversion towards the groups that have put them in perpetual danger for at least the last half century.
We supported Sadam because while he was an authoritarian and genocidal mad man he kept Iran in check and he was also anti communist removing Sadam and Gaddafi was the worst thing we have ever done in the middle east
@Colonel Forbin If you go back far enough, then yes, most of it is caused by the British. However, the illusion that Israel is not at fault for any of this, is utter nonsense. Arabs can hold states for themselves and have done so very successfully in the past, which is why wealths of knowledge came from specifically that region during the period between 900 and 1500 AD. Don't overgeneralize here, as that just weakens your point. I don't hate jews and I don't blame them, or any other religious group for that matter, for anything. It's bad and inhumane policy that is to blame here, and that's just the thing Israel and the US have been exercising in the Middle East.
@@Karem-mu6rl The Houthis started as an independent movement, and they are a family that has historically existed in the region even before the Islamic Revolution in Iran, and they adopted the ancient Zaidi thought, so it is a Yemeni problem in origin, the religious and political conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran is the reason, and the Yemenis paid the price for this conflict

@@lacrosse4higher change those powerplants into solar panels. I didn't say it would happen over night but, it's still a simple solution compared to solving the middle East religious/political conflicts.
That's just temporarily. Saudi Arabia has the most sun power in the world. If they take solar seriously, then they can out compete the rest of the world.
+lacrosse4higher The inefficiencies of thousands of individual car engines far outweigh the inefficiency of a single powerplant in terms of wasted energy. Also a huge amount of energy is wasted in the supply chain even getting gas to the gas station, that also far outweighs that used in the supply chain in the electricity sector. So even without changing from fossil fuels, there is a net benefit to the environment.
At the beginning American sold weapons to 4 main arab neighbor country because American wants that these arab country fight each other and then American's jumped into this for steal their oil. Two benefit in one time. Increase weapons demand. Save free oil for 100 years.

The places under Saudi control probably have access to food and medicine but I’m sure the rebel help places aren’t allowed imports. It doesn’t mean the rebels are bad leaders. They just have no resources

@Lord Nerdecon wrong wrong and wrong. Saudi follows the sharia law {you said they dont, therefore proving you dont even know what you are talking about} and according to the sharia law Muslims are to live with ppl of different religions in harmony. Its true Muslims are not allowed to denounce their religions, because back in the religious war times; that was used as a tactic to manipulate ppl into converting. And no, Saudi does not treat ppl of different religions as slaves as written in the sharia law its not allowed, and in our modern days, human rights exist in shorts what you are saying is not true and if so i would like citations. I am not saying Saudis are perfect and i am not denying facts here; what some of what you're saying are lies, and some other stuff nowadays are taken completely out of context.

In my experience as an editor a 40 week is the exception, not the rule. Especially when there’s a deadline. This is on top of all the research done beforehand to create the article.
60-120 minute documentaries take months or in some cases years to complete. As awesome as the longer format is, it locks down resources which prevent them from being current to the news cycle and you’re not gonna have a successful RUclips presence with releasing a video every 3-6 months.
Serialized segments could be the way to go. This could have been a 3 hour video and there’d still be people in the comments about how insufficient it is. Almost like people might have to do some research for themselves because of the complexities and nuance involved. 🥴

Yea...unlike the Saudi who are human rights role models
The thing is. The US doesn’t want a stable and democratic Middle East, as they would not be able to offer benefits of protection in stable regions. In collaboration with Israel, the US has tried to keep the region perpetually unstable, with their allies, whoever they might be (now, it’s Saudi Arabia, but at one point the US even rooted for Saddam Hussein) somewhat out of the commotion or actively fueling the conflicts even further with grave power imbalances. This is the problem that needs to be addressed.
This video is just obvious propaganda
@C caymer who are you referring to when you're talking about 'you Muslims'? While obviously very wrongly and shortsightedly, China has been doing this for not such a long time yet, and is already facing grave criticism. Meanwhile, the US and US-led coalitions have killed large numbers of innocents over the past several decades to further not their homeland security, but their economic interests. It's only logical that some Muslims feel an aversion towards the groups that have put them in perpetual danger for at least the last half century.
We supported Sadam because while he was an authoritarian and genocidal mad man he kept Iran in check and he was also anti communist removing Sadam and Gaddafi was the worst thing we have ever done in the middle east
@Colonel Forbin If you go back far enough, then yes, most of it is caused by the British. However, the illusion that Israel is not at fault for any of this, is utter nonsense. Arabs can hold states for themselves and have done so very successfully in the past, which is why wealths of knowledge came from specifically that region during the period between 900 and 1500 AD. Don't overgeneralize here, as that just weakens your point. I don't hate jews and I don't blame them, or any other religious group for that matter, for anything. It's bad and inhumane policy that is to blame here, and that's just the thing Israel and the US have been exercising in the Middle East.

It's always about money and resources for their gain of power. Its a disgrace. I feel so much empathy for the poor people that are in the mist of these ongoing wars. Peace and love to Yemen people and the rest of Middle eastern people.
Can we all just appreciate how lucky we are to have Vox
