Listening to this man is so refreshing after listening to any of the government representatives of the USA and the truth is the US news media outlets are always putting these type of people down because they are not US citizens and it's sicking ........
What country instigates war and will panic if “peace” breaks out around the world? Hasn’t the US been exposed for funding protests in Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia in Africa and in other countries for no other purpose than to block China’s investments & global rise? Why are we pouring billions into weapons, supplying weapons to the countries currently at war to kill civilians?

Yes, America was forced to pay Japan for damages... but how could you possibly put a price on the innocent lives that were lost, and yes Pakistan became a "shithole" due to its pursue of nuclear weapons, due to sanctions put on them by the us, similar to the Venezuela oil sanctions, it seems that at the end of the day us foreign policy has more to do with finances then the safety of the American people

Such as clear and honest interview. He is allowed to speak in his own words. She asks very clear objective questions. Its about being transparent and truthful. This is great reporting and very informative, We need so much more of this type of coverage and from such witnesses to history. Thank you..
This is the person that you would listen to in a foreign affairs discussion; he is well versed in the subject and very diplomatic in discussing the issue.
This interview is crucial and has been made at a very significant moment. HRH Prince Turki al Faisal's narrative of events is spot on👍 .Exactly 40yrs ago The soviets invaded Afghanistan, His Majesty King Khaled was king and the news headlines at the time was Afghanistan and the mujahideen. My family had just arrived in Jeddah,.l was twelve yrs old. HIS Royal Highness was head of intelligence at the time. I can't wait to get a copy of your book. Saudi Arabia is blessed to have Prince Turki he is a walking Historical Encyclopedia . Sending you much love and Honour. God Bless you always.
Prince Turki Al-Faisal is a seasoned statesman, the interviewer did an amazing job. It was a pleasure to watch a candid view of an important Suadi X-official and member of the Royal family about the US, Afghanistan, Iran and the world in general.

Ajab khan khattak.Prince Turki bin Faisal was very frank, honest &articulate during q/a.He deserved to have been intelligence chief of ksa.Astonishingly,he seems to be a master in diplomacy.
I always remember how my dad said to me when he was in the army back than in SFR Yugoslavia. He was Titos sailor, serving on Brijuni islands. Every day they had this education class where they would read and discuss about situation in the world. My dad did the reading most of the time and that day in september of 1980s, his commander said to him to read the todays news and it stared with the Iraq - Iran war, after the reading on that topic, my dad's comment was "It's not good, not good at all, brother took arms against another brother, and it is gonna be a carnage". It was kind of a foreshadowing since couple of months back Tito died and all of the army of Yugoslavia needed to arm up and be ready for the war for couple of days. Sad world we live in...
The US along with its allies (Soviet Union & Great Britain) defeated Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany. Then the US along with France & Great Britain used of their armies to impose a democratic republic on Japan and West Germany. This democratization done in 10 years. After 20 years of military occupation of Afghanistan, the Taliban Islamic Extremists are back in power. Absolutely amazing! If the Afghan people do not want to build a modern democratic republican society then the US Army cannot force it on them. If the Afghan people want to build their society based on their own beliefs then the Taliban Islamic Jihadis is right for them. The US has limited resources. The US does not have Saudi Arabia's oil reserves. After 20 years of US military occupation it is time to let the Afghans live the way they want to live. Prince Turk Al-Faisal said that the US made a deal with the Taliban excluding the Afghan Government. The Taliban has authority because it has enough Afghan support to seize political power with violence. The problem with the Afghan government the US put in place is that it has no legitimacy with the majority of the Afghan people. The Afghan people will not fight to keep it in power. There are more Afghan people who will support the Taliban Islamic Jihadis than the US-supported Afghan government. The Saudi Royal Family seized control of Arabia by defeating other contending clans in battle. Plus the Saudis got religious legitimacy by allying themselves with the Wahhabi Fundamentalists. What Prince Turk Al-Faisal is not making explicit is very important. In the Near-East, Middle-East, and Arabian Peninsula if you want to govern then you seize control by killing other contenders for power and paying homage to Religious Clerics who the common people will follow. That is what happened in the Middle Ages of Europe. That is the way the Saudis seized control of Arabia.
Tough statement to say 41:31 “Instead of being adversaries, they became partners” they became partners after his father, leader of this embargo, was assassinated 6 days after his unsuccessful meeting with Kissinger by his nephew who was educated and lived in the us for long time. Nevertheless, he is a wise politician to see beyond this and look out for his people.
The interviewer was trying to cast China as a threat to the interests of the surrounding countries. Why second guess what the interviewee was going to say? He was pretty adroit in ignoring her prompting.
Prince Turki AlFaisal is a remarkable figure, wise and intelligent, he runs the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies, a 40+ years old respected institution, that houses a great collection of ~30 thousands valuable Arabic manuscripts, I have the privilege to visit and benefit from this center and to regularly obtain their academic publications
Hasn't Kabul been liberated from a 20-year unwanted foreign occupation? Feb 2020, the US agreed to complete the evacuation by May 2021. Hasn’t the US not only invaded Afghanistan for 20 years to replace the Taliban with the ‘Taliban’? While "cleaning up" the mess in Afghanistan is still under way what country’s vice president is visiting Asia strengthening its strategic structure around China with the sole purpose of containing China?
I just found out about this man after the most recent Israel-Palestine War. I've never heard anyone come remotely close to his level of expertise on the Middle East.
The elephant in the room has not been discussed at all publicly for decades. My thanks to the Prince for this interview, and please extend my best wishes to King Salman.
One of the respected family in Saudi Arabia is king Faisal family not only that king Faisal children were highly educated and holding higher positions in kingdoms.
One sided narrative from a Saudi/US perspective. He has Saudi and US interests at heart and this clearly comes out from the interview. Good interview, atleast she asked the uncomfortable issue with Jamal.
The US and "Saudi had a bad relationship with the Taliban"!? What? So who used and funded them in the seventies, eighties and nineties? Who's the real cause for the plight of innocent Afghans? Those who should know better?
You did not hear what he said, that during the russian war they are with them, the problem starts when the war ended and start the new war with in afghanistan. And the tyranny of saddam hussien when he invaded kuwait, the refusal of bin laden to bring the us troops inside the saudi soil fueled the mis understanding.
Taliban beginning was in the mid 90s They fought against the Mujahideen and destroyed them mostly. The taliban and Mujahideen are different. That may sound very complicated to someone like you but at least try to understand.
@@abdullahshah9397 well i dont want to argue with you anymore, i.may be has little knowledge about them, and that limited knowledge is not enough to make a good conversation with you.

But now i am with the taliban, the caretaker government, not the other war mongering people who claim that they are taliban.

Commenting on his statement from the 17th minutes: Where we were 10 years ago and where we are today, are light years of progress that many young and middle aged Saudis never thought was possible in our lifetime. But Biden and many American politicians, as well as media outlets chose to ignore the progress and focus on none existing issues, this led me and many progressive Saudis to realise that Western governments never gave a dime about our rights, they were just using them for their own political agendas.
Luckily, we don't need the US anymore. Look at how diverse our exports now are and you'll see that it's the US that needs us now. We have great relationships with China & Russia as well as many nations.
@@farzana6676 Let me ask you this, have you heard of Victoria Marinova or Daphne Caruana Galizia? If not, do your research and tell me why no one cared as much. I'm sure I don't need to explain the media subjectivity and politicalisation to you

@@ahmedalqassem There was great uproar at the killing of both those journalists. And there was very little evidence of proof that state was involved in them unlike Saudi Arabia where there was recording and it was confirmed Kashoggi was killed by them in their embassy.
I respectfully disagree with you, great opportunities & accomplishments was made by Afghan women during the NATO & US mission to help assist the Afghan government & as well LGBTQ communities. Was the mission perfect, NO, but compared to the current situation in Afghanistan the last 20 years of USA & NATO involvement was 100% better then the Taliban control of the country.
@@CaptainThach if you say so the government was a sham controlled by one of bushes business partners. The taliban was smaller when we entered the country which is a bunch of tribal groups with different belief. We were protecting Warlords with child sex slaves. When one of my fellow soldiers whistleblowers stated these facts he was court martial. The so called soldiers were 300k on paper ( ghost soldiers) which was more corruption by the sham government. It's been a shit show since the Soviet invasion. Also the war could have ended by 2004 when tribes wanted to negotiate a turnover of Binladin but Rumsfeld declined because money was to be made. We guarded oil fields and poppy fields. While destroying Iraq. It was never about human rights. The indiscriminate 💣 help create more Taliban, and ISIS. Not forgetting the Taliban helped to defend against ISIS. But if that help you stay sane Sir respectfully we can always toe the line with the political narrative

She should have asked why is Saudi fighting in Yemen!!! Also until Russia came in to Syria the US was talking about fighting Isis for another 40 years and Russia's came in they got rid of Isis
I don't like Asad as such but US used the so called rebels and Isis to distroy Syria and Libya like Afghanistan in 70 to provoke Russian to come into Afghanistan and created so called Mujahedeen that started fighting themselves when Russian left and the US left them to it. Use your brain idiots they don't have to go invaded Muslims countries all they have to do is pay some idiots to start the war using relegion and Islam clearly prohibit you from taking up arms against your own government regardless of how unislamic the government might be!!!
What a distinguished personality and he is so frank and up front on even sensitive issues. 14:10 - 15: 20 contain gems. He is right to talk positively of Nixon but could also have added Carter. The lady interviewer too is totally competent and disciplined. But the clip got stuck at quarter point !

Nevertheless, he is a wise politician to see beyond this and look out for his people.
Yes, it would be very interesting.
أسطورة 🇸🇦❤️
Great interview 👍🏼
King Faisal Rahimullah was a man of integrity and honour.
prince turki is among the last few men of such a calibre standing in the coming few decades
Great talk of Mr.Turki 👍🏼
about Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 and America 🇺🇸
The interviewer was trying to cast China as a threat to the interests of the surrounding countries. Why second guess what the interviewee was going to say? He was pretty adroit in ignoring her prompting.
CCP is a threat to freedom everywhere.
He is so lovely
If only they could interview our president with such tough questions. Or ask him at all really.
Get real bro as if
If a wolf kills your enemy, it does not mean that he becomes your friend
It also makes you very lucky lol
Prince Turki AlFaisal is a remarkable figure, wise and intelligent, he runs the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies, a 40+ years old respected institution, that houses a great collection of ~30 thousands valuable Arabic manuscripts, I have the privilege to visit and benefit from this center and to regularly obtain their academic publications
Looking forward to reading the Royal Highness' tentatively titled book "Afghanistan Files", just hopeing it is affordably priced !
Hasn't Kabul been liberated
from a 20-year unwanted foreign occupation?
Feb 2020, the US agreed to complete the evacuation by May 2021.
Hasn’t the US not only invaded Afghanistan for 20 years
to replace the Taliban with the ‘Taliban’?
While "cleaning up" the mess in Afghanistan is still under way
what country’s vice president is visiting Asia
strengthening its strategic structure around China
with the sole purpose of containing China?
A wise and comprehensive commentary - so different from the tabloid noise most people receive.
As salaam alaykoom kinfolk believers and friends ♥ ' l personally think and feel ' he's an Hon. Man of Faisal raa
I just found out about this man after the most recent Israel-Palestine War.
I've never heard anyone come remotely close to his level of expertise on the Middle East.
The elephant in the room has not been discussed at all publicly for decades. My thanks to the Prince for this interview, and please extend my best wishes to King Salman.
One of the respected family in Saudi Arabia is king Faisal family not only that king Faisal children were highly educated and holding higher positions in kingdoms.
A very brilliant old Prince with a deep intellect.
Amazing interview. Very informative.
Knowledgeable prince for sure
Knowledgeable but one sided knowledge.
I think Saudi is best in my opinion.
One sided narrative from a Saudi/US perspective. He has Saudi and US interests at heart and this clearly comes out from the interview. Good interview, atleast she asked the uncomfortable issue with Jamal.
Lol, which side did you expect him to present except the Saudi perspective? 😂😂😂
Proud of you as a Saudi citizen
I'm proud of you as an American citizen!
The US and "Saudi had a bad relationship with the Taliban"!? What? So who used and funded them in the seventies, eighties and nineties? Who's the real cause for the plight of innocent Afghans? Those who should know better?
You did not hear what he said, that during the russian war they are with them, the problem starts when the war ended and start the new war with in afghanistan. And the tyranny of saddam hussien when he invaded kuwait, the refusal of bin laden to bring the us troops inside the saudi soil fueled the mis understanding.
@@arnoldlagu6873 Saddam was right in first Gulf war.
Taliban beginning was in the mid 90s
They fought against the Mujahideen and destroyed them mostly. The taliban and Mujahideen are different. That may sound very complicated to someone like you but at least try to understand.
@@abdullahshah9397 well i dont want to argue with you anymore, i.may be has little knowledge about them, and that limited knowledge is not enough to make a good conversation with you. What i am telling you is just a snipet from random reading of short history of the war in afghanistan, bin laden, saudi, america, russia. I may be wrong, god knows. But now i am with the taliban, the caretaker government, not the other war mongering people who claim that they are taliban. As far as i know many are taking advantage of the name taliban, one can kill, oppress women, whipped them and then saying we are the taliban..if you are with the northern alliance well that is your choice. And i have my choice also..i hope you understand my point...
M. smith. Agreed!
I thought it was inside job that the most heavily armed pentagon missed a 767 that got past defences ...
The most interesting person on the planet

I am a Christian and have great respect for your late father King Faisal, great man, you are no different from him, you will make a great king.
How was king Faisal ? How is the prince different? Please elucidate more to spare us from drivel being a Christian.
@Shaun Shaikh Iran and Taliban are of no interest to me, I was commending the character of the man.
@@stephanieadams9702 How was king Faisal? Plenty of material on RUclips for you to watch and come to your own conclusion. I never said the prince is different. Keep comments respectful in community, "drivel being a Christian". Have a peaceful day.🙏
@Shaun Shaikh The point of discussion and person being interviewed is the prince, not Saudi officials, you cannot blame all for the actions of some, what kind of world would we have. I was commending the political astuteness and character of the prince.
Not an expert on body language.. she is very talented 👏 .. about the prince 🤴 Turki he is one of the most intelligent men .. very respective gentleman
الله يحفظه ويحفظ ملكنا وشعبنا
A very articulate individual indeed. Why can’t we have such leaders?
Commenting on his statement from the 17th minutes:
Where we were 10 years ago and where we are today, are light years of progress that many young and middle aged Saudis never thought was possible in our lifetime. But Biden and many American politicians, as well as media outlets chose to ignore the progress and focus on none existing issues, this led me and many progressive Saudis to realise that Western governments never gave a dime about our rights, they were just using them for their own political agendas.
Luckily, we don't need the US anymore. Look at how diverse our exports now are and you'll see that it's the US that needs us now. We have great relationships with China & Russia as well as many nations.
@@ahmedalqassem Nobody had problems with Saud kingdom until Kashoggi bro.
That one was really bad.
@@farzana6676 Let me ask you this, have you heard of Victoria Marinova or Daphne Caruana Galizia? If not, do your research and tell me why no one cared as much. I'm sure I don't need to explain the media subjectivity and politicalisation to you
@@farzana6676 Just so you know, my reply was deleted by RUclips twice for mentioning two names of brutally mxxxxered journalists inside the EU that nobody cared about.
@@ahmedalqassem There was great uproar at the killing of both those journalists. And there was very little evidence of proof that state was involved in them unlike Saudi Arabia where there was recording and it was confirmed Kashoggi was killed by them in their embassy.
I love this interview.
His comments about Americans breaking their word and agreements is spot on. They are self serving and renege whenever it suits them.
Very US interest centric view of world history and foreign policy strategy!
Saudi centric view as expected. And Saudi is a US ally.
Excellent interviewer
This is a dishonest biased view of Afghan. PROPAGANDA. This was always about money 💰
I respectfully disagree with you, great opportunities & accomplishments was made by Afghan women during the NATO & US mission to help assist the Afghan government & as well LGBTQ communities. Was the mission perfect, NO, but compared to the current situation in Afghanistan the last 20 years of USA & NATO involvement was 100% better then the Taliban control of the country.
@@CaptainThach if you say so the government was a sham controlled by one of bushes business partners. The taliban was smaller when we entered the country which is a bunch of tribal groups with different belief. We were protecting Warlords with child sex slaves. When one of my fellow soldiers whistleblowers stated these facts he was court martial. The so called soldiers were 300k on paper ( ghost soldiers) which was more corruption by the sham government. It's been a shit show since the Soviet invasion. Also the war could have ended by 2004 when tribes wanted to negotiate a turnover of Binladin but Rumsfeld declined because money was to be made. We guarded oil fields and poppy fields. While destroying Iraq. It was never about human rights. The indiscriminate 💣 help create more Taliban, and ISIS. Not forgetting the Taliban helped to defend against ISIS. But if that help you stay sane Sir respectfully we can always toe the line with the political narrative
@@armyncveteranvital0611 .."war is a racket"-
General Smedley Butler
Worth trillions.
911 inside job.
Turki bin Faisal al Saud was Director of Saudi Intelligence and resigned 10 days before 9/11. Remember "alleged" highjackers were Saudi, set up as the patsies and shadowed by mossad.
And Jesuit trained from Georgetown University.
Discover for yourself the power and diabolical nature/ history of the Jesuit Order.
Director of CIA/ 9/11 George Tenet also trained at Georgetown university.
Because you didn't like it? Or Because it's different than the lies told to you by your media? Educate yourself
@@alalmutairi when you are on the ground and see the devastation of poor people civilians being bombarded for their ethnic religious beliefs I don't need to view the slanted media with pharmaceutical OPIATES , oil revenues. And I won't go into Cuba detention centers unlawfully practiced. The more innocent people we killed in turn created more Taliban which fought beside the US against ISIL
A great interview
She should have asked why is Saudi fighting in Yemen!!! Also until Russia came in to Syria the US was talking about fighting Isis for another 40 years and Russia's came in they got rid of Isis
Russian helping Assad to kill its own people!
You need a new brain 😂
@@rashid5218 and you are uncle same worrior!
I don't like Asad as such but US used the so called rebels and Isis to distroy Syria and Libya like Afghanistan in 70 to provoke Russian to come into Afghanistan and created so called Mujahedeen that started fighting themselves when Russian left and the US left them to it. Use your brain idiots they don't have to go invaded Muslims countries all they have to do is pay some idiots to start the war using relegion and Islam clearly prohibit you from taking up arms against your own government regardless of how unislamic the government might be!!!
@@Cool76574 “ we fighting American imperialism with Russian imperialism”
What a distinguished personality and he is so frank and up front on even sensitive issues. 14:10 - 15: 20 contain gems. He is right to talk positively of Nixon but could also have added Carter. The lady interviewer too is totally competent and disciplined. But the clip got stuck at quarter point !
There coming to get us Henry!
Taliban has all right to rule its country no matter what others thought of it.
No right to protect and allow al qaeda terrorists training camps.
He is somone you like to hear from.
his new book. THe Afghanistan File is excellent
This man does not want offend americans and that's why not speaking the truth and tes it the water shed moment in the history of America
A guy with knowledge
This is man in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
What a day that he remembers , that I left a day or two before ....
Lots of the ppl commenting here didn’t even listen to half the interview!!!
Why they are asking about Saudi Arabia particularly???❗️‼️⁉️
What is the situation of human rights in America and other countries????❌‼️⁉️
They say like they have a society of angels in America and the west.
Great interview. What he had to say about their oil reserves shows that there is very little chance of us staying under 3 degrees warming.
The taup will suit our prince better. Yaaneeيعني
