twenty years of westerners shopping spree of war sovineirs and storytelling.
Why Saudi Arabia itself can’t fight its own wars, Why depending on USA?
Thats not true it’s fighting in Yemen alone there is no US involvement
I believe Saudi Arabia pays for everything
Good interview, I think Prince Faisal should just say the fact is that the Kingdom must take the lead for Muslims instead of just resting on their position as the custodian of the holy land for a couple of billion followers.
This guy loves America more than American 🙂
America has been a strong ally of Saudi Arabia since the end of World War II. Go back in history a little and you will see that America supported Saudi Arabia in the Gulf War as well. Now relations are more tense than ever after the Patriot was withdrawn. The visit of the US Secretary of Defense to Saudi Arabia was refused a few days ago in protest against the withdrawal of the Patriot. In At the same time, the Saudi Deputy Defense Minister went to sign military agreements with Russia
MBS aka Middle Eastern Bone Saw did it. This is not justice if you penalize the gun and throw it in the crucible and not the person who pulled the trigger.
Diplomats are like reptiles you should never trust them.
Turki-al fasul sounds like an Italian thanks giving dish, too bad it’s just the name of a paid CIA operative
Devious
Was kaas not now
Why US allow Saudi and support the government of Yemen and kill Houthis but they didn’t do the same in Afghanistan and support the legitimate government ?
For 20 years, USA support the Afghanistan government
Unfortunately, the American dream will not come true. Because what happened in Afghanistan was shocking to me and to everyone who familiar with the military. However, I really come to believe that greatness will go bust once you can’t control its pulses or rhythms. It looks like, trust, you built in twenty years and it can go in an hour. Thank you.
Ther was no gormant was oukpiad by USA and nato
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…
🤴 Prince impressive as diplomat 👏
🇸🇦Informed & knowledgeable & intelligent
Great interviewer and turky alfisal was truthful and transparent man I enjoyed the whole interview. Thanks
Love the Saud Family but the radical Saudi wahabis clan will make Saud Family loose the Saudi government. The Saud Family should rebuild Baqqi Cementary to wash away the world perception of radicals and killers.
Thats how crook talk
Robbing Muslim wealth and living lifestyle that are opposite of what Islamic guidelines are. So pls don’t quote Holy Quran.
What is Muslim wealth ?
Who is robbing who? Please elaborate.
Stfu it’s Saudi money not Muslim

HRH Prince, they not look to get your oil, but they need your money . I guess so ..
What a great speaking wise Prince. Very mesmerizing. Respect!

Monarchies work by succession, not elections. Do your research.
Bijan Mehrpour
Nope, the king doesn’t get to choose the Crown Prince out of no where. There are certain protocols when it comes to changing the next king, and it is only applicable in certain situations that are too complicated to talk about here. Nevertheless, the King chose his son, he is the most fitted for the Crown… unlike the previous crown prince who was an american puppet
When th blessing of oil will end so will th usefulness of the house of Sauds.
بس يايوسف ال سعود هم من بنو حنيفة وكان من بنو حنيفة صحابة فاتحين لبلدك وعلموك الدين واللغة وقتها ماكان فيه نفط
What a load of drivel!
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.
Lies
Great Stuff. I started watching your videos last year as a beginner before giving stock market a trial. I was able to make $972,000 within 3 Months with a capital of $200,000. keep it up!
Wow. That’s Impressive! How were you able to make that?
Despite the fact that I take glory for the achievement, I honestly have to tell you, i was guided by ASHLEY AIRAGAHI i found through a news blog. She aided me achieve that.
How can i reach this broker lady?
I just looked her name up on the internet and i got everything i need to know about her.
i have heard about ASHLEY AIRAGAHI, she is a professional
I love it when the word “ya’ani” just slips out of his mouth
What does that mean?
@@glennmorris25 the term “like” in English, mostly used by teenaged americans, is the equivalent to “ya’ani” in arabic.
Peace y’all 🇮🇱
@علي الفردان well that’s a shame…but hey guess what? If you don’t respect someone, don’t expect to be respected back….
✌️
@علي الفردان oh gosh..pls don’t start with your crying again man..u can maybe fool the idiot liberal students in the U.S with that crap, between me and u..we both know the truth man..grow up already
@علي الفردان ah..sure bro.. whatever u say..
Look i see u r in the mood for crying, as usual.. excuse me but I have to work, while u guys spent your time wipping and crying we were busy building a flourishing country.
Ciao habibi
she tries to bring sinophobia into the interview by asking if he’s maybe scared by the rise of china. what does this situation even have to do with china? just because china had talks to the taliban doesn’t mean they’re about to become allies.
The USA backs its currency with Saudi oil. China is the obvious foil for US/Saudi hegemony
لماذا اللباس الغربي بدلاً من لباسك العربي الجميل؟ هل هو من باب التلوق للغرب؟ صدقني أنت أكثر هيبة ووقار بلبسك ذاك ، هذه واحدة
This fellow knows exactly that terrorism nd the taliban is supported by Saudi largely either using Pakistan or directly so terrorists and internal war crimes will continue in the years to come no two ways abts thats
كلام غريب ، ولي العهد محمد بن سلمان نفسه متورط بقتل خاشوقچي
كذاب
Prince hit dat
Love the way he is providing his assessments on the current political affairs!!
Did Saudi want America to goto Afghanistan ?? Was it in their security interests .Would Kingdoms people have accepted Saudi war with Alqueada ,Taliban Muslim v Muslim .9/11 I believe Saudi & Israel knew more than American people are led to believe .
Is Islam compatible with democracy, liberty or peace?
It seems no.
Came across as a Genuine , pragmatic man. Impressed by him.
Saudi Arabia is a cesspit. It has a lot of questions to answer!
Without oil…they’ve only got sand.
Prince Turki always is very balanced and astute in his assessment
Also we all now must understand that USA don’t talk of Taliban amd Trump agreement in 2019
They have deceived the world by making people think that Taliban overran Afghanistan but truth is USA opened the door to Taliban and handed the Afghanistan to Taliban
However if we give them time o think Taliban will get a grip on Administration of the country
Let’s give them a chance
Truth is the Afghanistan has to want to be rid of Taliban themselves no one can do it for them.
A very articulate individual indeed. Why can’t we have such leaders?
Face like his father
Stupid CNBC do you need for this video 59mins 55 secs advertisement…idiots…!
Pakistan tried to use Afghanistan as ‘Strategic depth’. The Talibans outsmarted them and used Pakistan as ‘Strategic depth’. Half of Pakistan has become Talibanized (including PM of Pakistan with nickname of Taliban Khan) with large scale prevalence of ‘Kalashnikov and Heroin Culture.’ School students were massacred in Peshawar (Extremely sad day for humanity !), military personnel killed every other day : These were the consequences of supporting terrorism. So many people were killed. Please stop thinking that terrorists will kill only the neighbours and give us all the roses. This Policy proved a major failure. Peace gestures were overturned by Kargil conflict. India became a Nuclear State in 1974. Pakistan didn’t have a Nuclear bomb at that time. Did India attack Pakistan at that time? No. All 4 wars were started by Pakistan. Please live peacefully with Neighbours. Stop supporting the terrorists. They will not be force multipliers. They will kill innocent people of Pakistan. So, stop this hostile culture.
When two smart persons talk, we get a wonderful interview.
For India US is most unreliable n Russia is the most reliable. US treacherously endangered lives of 130 crore Indians n harmed safety and security of India by escaping from Afghanistan in the dead of night. India Govt must shun US n it’s allies now. US Govt gifted 30,000 super strong military vehicles, thousands other armaments, 15 lakh battle hardened whole Afghanistan military, police n Talliban fighters and a big country to Pak Army. US has given India a fake Quad photo shoot of our PM with US President. US has back stabbed us in extremely barbarian way. We must shun US completely n secretly now onwards. India must bring a big Russian military contingent to train n prepare Indian forces. India must send a big military force to Syria to train under Russia in live war condition. US is using its most lethal radicalized Turkey n Pakistan to harm n hurt India’s and Russia’s interest as much as possible.
He’s certainly well spoken and charismatic with vast years of experience in regional politics and intelligence matters… Quite a few others in Saudi are like him… How could all this lead to MBS becoming the No. 2 man in Saudi Arabia?! Sad and pathetic…
Because people lovvveee MBS here, he has made so many incredible changes that should be applaud for.
@@samaralshehri9663 applauded for the murder of khashuggi for instance? War in Yemen? Feud with Qatar? Battles with Iran? Leadership? Presence? 😂😂 don’t fall toooo much in love with an Ass, never know when you get kicked in the face 😉
Biden is an American failure since Vietnam war I believe trump✌️
Pakistan is a coloniser of Kashmir pushing Afghan warriors to capture it from India and kick out ancient Hindu Pandits from the Kashmir later. These people openly kill to change demographics to establish Islamic darul Islam by doing darul Harb. 😏👎
This man is no different for calling Israel as colonisers. Hypocrites !!
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 ……..
Saudi Arabia was one of the entities behind 9/11 and helped fund it
@@BlakeAlexander12 no it didn’t
USA media is racist. No surprises.
@@BlakeAlexander12 Google is free and you have a brain you can use it sometimes instead of being racist as usual.
@@user-mj8kl2ig7p yes it did ‘lol’
saudi arabia is killing children in YEMEN what have he to say about that
What a clown
Saudi Arabia – client state of the US.
21:55 how world war 2 changed the world
37:35 oil
He is so lovely
And seriously Joe Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, all monsters. So much death at my countries hands, at the hands of all Americans who have ignored foriegn policy. All anyone cares about in America is Britney Spears and what mean thing Dave Chappelle said. I hate my country.
Awesome interview it’s always interesting to listen to foreign leaders and hearing their points of view on well known global issues!
Yes. It is cleansing what we know. I believe media has ruined all facts I lost its credibility.
Is Absolute Monarchy a better form than American Military Industrial Weapons Complex Hegemon With Ever Changing Democratic Presidential Elections.
Is this man a Muslim. Is this man a believer of prophet Mohamed. Is this man a custodian of mecca and madina. There is no sign of that.
lol why do u say that? he is the son of king faisel the best king in saudi arabia
Oh man, Prince Al-Faisal is one of those guys that I could listen to for hours on end. A real elder statesman. I hope for an audiobook version of his book, spoken by His Highness himself!
Interesting suggestion
And I assume he won’t refuse such experience
أسطورة 🇸🇦❤️
What evidence the Prince have to claim Taliban are still allied with Alqaeda? The truth it it’s Saudis that allied with Alqaeda in Syria against Bashal Assad’s government. Prince is not speaking truth.
Old fox. Wolf In sheep clothing. Working with intelligence proves his involvement with 911. Clear as daylight. Academy award winner.
9/11 was done by the US anyone who understand economy knows that .
No, British ONA did it.
It’s very one sided story. US and part of Europe are the main culprits to destroy Middle East. All because of oil.
มีเรื่องเดียวที่ต้องระวังคือนักการเมือง
أطال الله في عمرك ي صاحب السمو الملكي الأمير تركي بن فيصل
الله يمد في عمرك لخدمة دينك ووطنك العربي والاسلامي سمو الأمير تركي الفيصل
He’s obviously deceased at this point. 💀
لنلا لبفقي ونتعي ربؤقفغالبيئ
So no mention of the Safari Club/BCCI Bank and how it was created to fund False Flag Operations such as 9/11…? The Saud family have a lot to answer for in why they funded hijackers, madras’ that teach Salafi/Wahabi Islam and recruiting jihadis across the globe… 🌈🌵🐸STOP THE WAR IN YEMEN & SYRIA NOW!!!
See the truth by lying 😂
A great interview
King Faisal Rahimullah was a man of integrity and honour.
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
I love this interview.
تركي الفيصل رجل دولة عظيم، هههه من المرات يقول كلمات عربية 😆
18:17 I do not agree. No one will be happy to be forced to change his owne culture and life style based on western desires. Every scociety has its unique culture and lifesyle and no one has the right to force poeple to change it.
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.
Leave it to Biden to fk things up. Biden during his campaign assured Americans that he will not leave any weapons at all quote because the Taliban will use it for bad. But then as president he left the weapons and machinery. All lies. The man and family are the biggest crooks in American history!
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
Part of the problem with the Taliban is it’s a loose group
She’s known to be a prostitué for the United States government
American Stingers Missiles to topple the Communist Russian Soviet Union and the Muhajadins of Tajikistan
He said something went wrong. Its not something but Biden. 20yrs of withdrawal preparation went wrong.
USA and Saudi use Oil And Terrorism To There Benefit
USA is Falling ….
al Saud puppet.
Power of Islam can super power.
Rusea out after 11 years.
U,S,A OUT 21 YEARS HUMELEATED .

Mister “YANI”
TO ALL ARAB MURTADS, INSHALLAH AFGHANS WILL RULE HIJAZ! AAAMEEEN!!! 😂❤😂❤😂
I sincerely wish this mister YA’NI to live long life to witness how Taliban enter to Mekkah, Inshallam 😂😂😂
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.
Yes, it would be very interesting.
Every aspiring diplomate should listen to the way the prince handles the questions, some of which are not innocent I might add: With class, facts, and a smile. Chapeau bas!
i just discovered this man. I have watched many videos. This man has the possibility to be a GREAT statesman on the world stage right at this time… A Saudi prince…. For me, an American, that is a great thing. Sir, please know you have my support in nearly everything you have said in the many videos of you i have seen. You seem to be a truly Nobel man. i heard you referred to as an “elder statesman”, but you do not seem old. Please, please, lets see your voice more widely heard. You speak with great authority in my English language. I think many people would listen to you.
It is true the withdrawal was horrific. I am American and I cried and cried for the people. I hate war and killing. Fact is none of us own this world we are only renting it until our time is done. It is a shame it cannot be viewed as our world as God is one god for all ! Someone once pointed that out to me and it stuck. Lovely thought can we not all live in peace and love and accept one another. And it is very important when our good names are effected as in singular persons and countries due to war terriost or the new terror is internet fraud. They world is in dire need of change
That was a beautiful message, which is rare in the YouTube Comments. There’s a light shining from you.
I used to have a similar amount of compassion, empathy, and love of humanity that you have.
Over the years, my heart has hardened. It’s been a struggle keeping faith in humanity and myself.
It’s a miserable existence, but that’s enough about my problems that I should be able to easily resolve myself.
I’d like to encourage you to keep your faith in God and keep leaving positive comments.
As a Turkish Australian I wish he was the president of turkey. He is such a smart man
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.
