Which “destructive Iranian war” is he talking about? Who is bombing Yemen?
Salman it seems you agree now with “destructive Iranian war” since you changed the topic. Now if what you are claiming is true, why ISIS leaders are still hiding in Iran as we speak?
As a person from Yemen I support Saudi involvement more than Houthis who are backed by Iran
Iran
👍👍
Mutual benefits?
He means US benefits?
Yup mutual benefits,
I.e. USA>EU>UKR>RUS>KSA
USA>ISR>PALES>KSA
The US and the Biden administration must stop raising human rights “as it is so bad in Saudi Arabia.” As a Saudi who also lived in the United States during college years in both its Eastern and Western Coasts, I can assure you that in my home country, Saudi Arabia, we have way better quality of life, human rights, than most people who live in the US. Respecting our leaders is something we take seriously otherwise we view you as an “enemy” to us. China has been here and strong. Also, when they engage with political leaders across the globe, they do not bring in their differences with them but objectives goals. The US admin must end the silly tone it uses when speaking about Saudi Arabia or the importance of the United States in the global order would be in severe jeopardy. Also, it must acknowledge Saudi Arabia as ally. Throughout the history of Saudi Arabia-America partnership, the US has benefited of this partnership many things including selling oil for $, buying only American-made weapons, sharing common goals for the world and the region and this helps make the US the greatest power but as a Saudi, we simply do not care about your mighty power, yes the US is one greatest power in the world so does Saudi Arabia and we owe you nothing AMERICA!

It’s the everlasting colonial attitude towards others.
That they own this planet and they have the utmost right to impose all their values on others under the slogan of “supporting human rights”.
how about the women?
@KARIM EL-SAYED They feel like that because all of the most important and life changing inventions come from the USA .The most advanced civilizations were all like this only much much worse .
🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 are the head, stomach, and the tail of a snake !
Prince Turki is one of the wisest and most respected diplomats and individuals in modern times. Unfortunately people like him are a dying breed in a 280 character world.
it’s 280 characters now? Used to be 140, then 240 if I remember correctly. Maybe in a few more years you’ll be able to post a medium length paragraph on twitter. And in another decade perhaps a whole page at once.
Saudi Arabia has a terrible human rights record. Will Biden address it?
Another old man with dementia signs that didn’t recognize Joey’s from the basement run? Now he says Joey is diminished? My goodness, all these ‘leaders’ with no common sense is becoming quite disturbing, almost like hearing media took money to help govt. mass murder by shot. Good luck fake news people.
🎩🇸🇦
It’s american politics after all— . Condescending view of America..
I agree Prince Turki- is wise and intelligent diplomat but here he’s just defending MBS- foolish and less intelligent person.
MBs is cause of this situation by killing a journalist and acting stupidly at home .
The sematics of visual beauty and suggestion give this interview an extra value, seldom seen.
As a European I think it is especially nice to see such a sexually provocative journalist, with silky waves of sexy satin constantly moving over her breasts as she speaks, pink lip gloss on her lips, passionately red jacket, earrings disorganized and hair suggesting a very free spirit.
It goes well with her intelligent questions and natural beauty, and the fire in her eyes.
But I wonder: Why does she choose this dress code – and appearance code while working in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, when, even in easy going Europe it would be considered ‘quite amazing’ to say the least?.
If it’s a new trend I welcome it. So, thank you. Let more journalists follow this good example! : )
As a Saudi, I see the beauty of a woman with her modesty and the example of the Virgin Mary
In Saudi culture, we do not respect women who wear clothes that highlight their femininity
Because this beauty should not be seen by a stranger
You forget to add a top with very low cut style and visibly no sign of a chest😂😂😂. Less is more doesn’t always apply my friend, dressing more modestly would show class but clearly not everyone has class.
Also speaking to a elder statesman dressed like this is just tacky
Thanks to the interviewer for asking real questions instead of going around the Khashoggy incident.
she look like just got stung by the bee on the lip
This was so sad that USA President was not welcomed appropriately post landing in KSA. No matter what, they should not be having any sort of revenge nature. All required protocols must have been given as end of the day, he was a VIP guest and representing a vast majority of a powerful nation in the world countries. Ethics must always be followed in diplomatic relations
Ethics must always be followed in diplomatic relations and your President simply didn’t do that since he got to the office we are watching his idiotic interviews and unrealistic promises and his way of talking down to us.
Mr turki u will never see it in ur life time. Saudi Arabia is popping up the dollar for many years thus u have also blood in ur hands I’m sure u understand me Mr turki u are a very clever man.
I am surprised!!
She did not mention Khashoggi
I’m starting to think Khashoggi is American
Or that Khashoggi is more important than all the homeless in America
What about the MbS hands on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi?
Gasoline guzzling and electric cars are out….Biden is going green…he went to SaudiArabia wanting nothing but just a million camels for the US. Its a good transportation system….it just require two half boil eggs in the morning for the camel to get going…..
We saw the commitment of human rights in Abu Ghareeb jail by American soldiers .🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is shameful to hear the prostitute speak about chastity ( I mean America )
Biden said among the Arabs: We will not move from our place. It means you are in our occupation.
Why didn’t they do the sword dance? If he (Biden) was dancing, he would definitely fall down
Why does Prince Turki look like a stowaway ?
We are Saudis, we are too rich to wipe our own butts, poor people are hired to do this for us. We do not require spare parts for the weapons we cannot comprehend, or properly operate. We expect Russia, or America or anyone to solve the problem of peace in the middle east while we sit in our butts. Thank you do much, and eat oil for breakfast idiots.
Prince Turki diplomatically exposed America’s BS..Prince Turki 👍
The united states’of America doesn’t have some human rights issues but plenty.most of killings done in the USA are based on ethnicity or gender and religion.the usa are the only country on the planet where a regular citizens get shot by the police over a simple traffic violation such as running a stop or a speed limit or just a line change?so many police killings citizens are available on YouTube that’s is not funny .
PRINCE TURKI, where is from ::::::::::::::::::)))))))))))))))))))))
