    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.

    I’m really surprised they didn’t mention the petrodollar. That the US struck a deal with Saudi Arabia to only sell oil in US dollars, which basically forces every country to buy US first in order to buy oil. This props up the US dollar value and that’s why it’s the world reserve currency and has just kept rising in value despite the national debt and the feds nonstop printing.

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.

      @@mattiamantovani5475 Yep, even if it were say.. 3 people on the team that produced the video, in one week you’re looking at 120 hours worth of labor without overtime. 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. 🥴

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.

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.

      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

      SeaSesh the same reason why America is struggling against the taliban, they use inhumane and geurilla tactics like using human shields and dressing up like civilians. It isn’t easy as you think. They are also being supplied by Iran, so their equipment isn’t bad.

    "In the mean time, just across the gulf, Iran had emerged as another extremely strategic ally to the U.S." at 3:20 is a strange way to summarize the CIA overthrowing a moderate, democratically elected leader and installing a brutal regime.

    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.
