How did QATAR win the SANCTIONS WAR with the UAE and SAUDI ARABIA? - VisualPolitik EN 

Go to buyraycon.com/visualpolitik for 15% off your order. Brought to you by Raycon *There is a slight error in the recording. The blockade began on 5 June 2017 (as we say at the beginning of the video) and not on 5 January as stated at 3:38. We are sorry for the mistake.

I think it is logic Qatar would get closer with Turkey and Iran instead of submitting.

I'm a businessman from qatar after blockade we had little problems but in few months everything became normal as before, and now its Better than before kudos to our beloved gentleman king tamim

Qatar showed the world how to deal with a crisis, bravo!!

As resident of qatar, you can feel the kindness of this country specially in time of pandemic. Almost free in health care, transportation and tax is free. Imagine that. I LOVE QATAR.....

i am living in Qatar and i remember those days of brutal blockage, it was like a shock to all of us and i was very hard in the first month. the Qatari government makes everything and start importing foods and stuff and very quickly everything going back to normal. Thanks to the Cheikh Tamim ❤️

Visited Qatar last week. Was amazed as how the country has overcome the crisis despite the total boycott from the mighty neighbors. Visited major hypermarkets in the country and was blown off as how the government made its people to ensure availability of basic needs and their favorite brands from other countries. Many major brands like unilever and others have started manufacturing in Qatar and this has made the Qatar self sufficient . Even though the blockade is over, the UAE & KSA products are still non-existent in the market. The ultimate losers is KSA & UAE only. Period.

"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". Now Qatar is self sufficient by all means. No more dependent on KSA for milk and other food items. Thanks to Turkey & Iran for their immediate help during initial days of blockade. Kudos to Qatari leaders for their foresight.

I'm Turkish, i have a business in Qatar, and mostly living there. So i might have some perspective. First, the surface cause of the blockade was Qatar's support to muslim brotherhood but it was more because of Qatar's announcement on April 2017 regarding South Pars gas reserves. Just about a month after this announcement, on June 5th the blockade started. It was ramadan time in Qatar, and i remember there were not even milk left in supermarkets. This was a big shock for Qataris, they were kind of used to be able to buy anything, but not this time. Turkey took quick action and first couple weeks supplies came by cargo planes. Not an economical way of course, but that was not the point. Food crisis averted quickly. Another reason why UAE holds grudge to Qatar is FIFA World Cup 2022, which Qatar will host. UAE is literaly jealous of this event, and they even officially stated couple times that Qatar had to call off to host this event in order to remove the blockade. Last year Saudi Arabia tried to stage a coup to the Amir, they failed hilariously. Ever since, each year June 5th is being celebrated as a victory day in Qatar, even before the blockade was over. It was a day they stood still, not bend the knee to a greater power. (by power I mean the USA, not Saudis) This became a national pride for them and they supported their leader on every aspect. Now they triumphed, and i think blockade may be one of best things happened to Qatar. Now they produce their of dairy products, livestock and agriculture to some extent, and they have stronger relations with other nations. They have much brighter future than Saudis.

So Josh struggles with the pronunciation of his native language and anything in any European foreign language, but those Arabic names just flow off his tongue effortlessly....?!

Qatar: They thought they were going to drag me down but they were actually strengthening me.

I think Turkey played the most significant role. they had far more experience in regional and international politics. Saudi and UAE only played the role of bullies to a young brother named Qatar.

19 minute video. Doesn't get to the point until 9 minutes in

I am extremely glad that Qatar managed to come out of the KSA/UAE blockade stronger and better prepared. Not having to depend on the volatile and capricious rulers of the neighboring realms significantly improved Qatar’s international standing. Showing them the middle finger in the process by excelling in every aspect while keeping calm and persevering also brings great pleasure. Bullies were put in their place and shown that they should think twice next time they have similar ideas.

Long term Qatar resident here. Lived through this and happy to see an unbiased viewpoint of an outsider. Great video. Thanks!

$audis was playing Checkers, Qataris were playing Chess.

I just admired the Emir of Qatar and his commitment for standing tall and not giving in to the demands of gulfs countries and how he actually handled the gulf blockade singlehandedly without bending the knee to those puppets, that type of braveness is the best for the country like Qatar and Qataris citizens for standing with their Emir..✊

MBS disapproves, don't think you'd be a welcome guest at KSA embassy mate.

I believed strongly when I saw "Everything ls Going To Be Alright" on top of the Qatar Museum .... 🇶🇦 Well ! Now, Qatar turned out to be self sufficient by all means. "QATAR deserves the best"...

For context, I live in Doha. I remember the morning I woke up to the news of the blockade. I had my Businees Statistics final exam that day. I just opened my eyes, give'em a slight rub. Open the news and read "KSA, Bahrain and UAE cut Qatar off". I had do the most cartoon thing ever and rub my eyes really well to see clearly and comprehend it. It was quite a WTF moment. I get to the exam hall, where we had plenty of Emirati students, and all of them were confused as fuck, "the fuck is happening? You heard the news?" It was quite a surreal feeling. P.S. Jordan did NOT cut it's diplomatic relationswl with Qatar. They just reduced the level of representation by recalling their ambassador. That was probably the best move Jordan could do. There is Israel to the west, Iraq and and Syria to the east and north. KSA is the only neighbour Jordan could have reliable both political and economic relationship. The recall of the ambassador was a gesture if good will to the KSA, while still keeping all the trade with Qatar, at least as much as the jew trade routes could support. Rumours go that despite the opening of the borders, Saudi trucks are not allowed into Qatar just yet, but Jordanian trucks coking through KSA are welcome.

QATARI PEOPLE ARE KIND..I AM A FILIPINO AND I LOVE QATAR. ❤

Okay I was wondering strategically where Qatar was located with respect to Turkey and it seems the partnership with Iran makes sense due to the trade route

Quatar played their cards well... Nice one

Turkey was and continues to be the key! Egypt Saudis UAe Syria Russia France Greece half of the EU against TURKEY and QaTAR has provided economic relief when the lira suffered. That's brotherly love

Much respect for Qatar for not submitting to the demands of these tyrants and for their resiliency. Much love from Bangladesh.

Greetings from Chechnya and Ingushetia!

Qatar : i was born playing Chess

lm so happy for Qatar. We was all been on their side from beginning of the conflict. All the best from South Africa ❤️

Qatar saw crisis as an opportunity and the adversaries saw opportunity as crisis, that made all the difference 😃

Qatar vs. UAE, the battle we all wanted but didn’t deserve

I again learned a lot from your video. Content that is difficult to find elsewhere. Keep up the qualitative work! 👌

I remember when this happened during Ramadan bk in 2017, was rlly surprised and upset that they would do that to Qatar. I’m glad I could finally see my friends again and yes I’m living in one of the countries that did this😔

14:15 HE SAID IT HE SAID CONNECT-TICUT

I visited Qatar in 2018 and 2022. Could see how self reliant the country has become, how industries has been multiplied. The leadership is visionary and amicable at the same time.

Im from Qatar, I live in Qatar. You guys always surprise me about how accurate and reliable info you guys know about Qatar 🇶🇦and the Middle East.

Me 7 minutes into the video The narrator at 7:08 : Do you want to know? Me be like:😐duh

Jordan did not cut its relations with Qatar, Check your information my friend.

I was quarry manager at Khorfakan, I met Al Thani he owned it

Qatar proves to the mbz and mbs that we are stronger, the blockade was a failure,

This channel is great to get some world news. Currently, our main news outlet runs about 20 minutes of coronavirus news during their daily 30 minute international segment.

As a Saudi, I want us to put politics aside and just love each other. 🇸🇦🤝🇶🇦

Is it just me or is MBS kinda incompetent? His failures are kinda catastrophic so far

You're adding way too much filler to these videos.

Omg . So Detailed and within just 19 minutes like the entire summary of the entire conflict and you have done so much if deep investigation to share . Thank Full .

I would invest in Qatar but never in Saudi Arabia.

You forgot to mention, UAE also needs Hugh investors for their EXPO 2020, and Qatar would be a good help to them

Qatar was the largest importer of milk from Saudi Arabia. They(SA) got tons of money, after the blockade the Qatar govt. imported 4000 cows from New Zealand through air. After the blockade in Saudi Arabia the milk was giving away almost like free, free with other daily goods in Saudia Arabia [Information from the residents, i.e. my cousin 😉]

to play sanctions effectively, you need to be sole source of something important , like US was with oil to Japan in 1941. and even then things can blow up in your face. sometimes literally like in mentioned case... sanctions very rarely work as intended, since they are proof to the sanctioned nation that someone is out to get them, hence inducing siege mentality and forcing innovating into circumnavigating them... or at very least coping with them. 60 years of sanctions did nothing to change regime in Cuba...

Whatever he said, I kinda already knew. So now I am good at foreign affairs

This is by far the best RU-vid Channel about politics

Qatar became self sufficient because of the blockade and the Corona happened and they was the least affected cuz they were already experienced with the travel ban and blockades.

Way too many commercial breaks. Broke the flow of the information, and is ruining the chennel.

Qatar has Al Jazeera!

What brand is that set of speakers around your monitor ?

Best VP video in a long time

2:39 take a pencil and write down what's being said for the next 10 seconds Do it at first try to win an oil field

I like how they simply didn't mention Egypt in the title , Since it's ruler is basically a vassal of the UAE and whatever the UAE does he will do so 😂

I feel like visual politics research has been lacking recently. The dates at around 3:38 are wrong, the blockade actually started on June 5, 2017.

Qatar know how to play chess

Thanks for stop starting senates with “friends” 😀

The main reason why Saudi Arabia and UAE cut ties with Qatar because they did not want to join the war against Yemen you should have mentioned that your video

This guy looks like James English the bodybuilder

The music between narrations is too loud ! You need to make the volume difference between music and narration smaller.

dope video! Happy for this small nation how they managed to smartly overcome the blockade! Lessons to learn form them.

Now Qatar has everything..🔥

3:37 - The blockade started on 5th of June 2017, not January.

Qatar is nice place to visit. Far freer than Saudi Arabia.

I would love to be an arms dealer in the Middle East. Wholesale every day.

There was all sorts of intimidation, propaganda and arm twisting to defeat Qatar and it stood firm. The other Gulf countries didn't fully realize that they couldn't have slept by not allowing Doha to sleep. Wise decision to know that it's better together always.

الله يرحمك الشيخ صباح 🇰🇼❤️ May sheikh Sabah rest in peace

Excitingly waiting Qatar 2022 World Cup

I started to watch it... then came the ads... næækst❗️

I must also become an arms Dealer in the Middle East, too much money... Thats why USA, France, Russia, China, UK has high arms sales

The fact is no matter the politics, no matter the hypocrisy, the people of the gulf countries will always be brothers and sisters, they share a language, a religion and blood, there’s more to it than we know, never let outsiders brainwash you.

Iran and Turkey helped Qatar stand for its sovereignty. Great to see Qatar is thriving. Soon will host the World Cup. NOTE: only a British man could mispronounce Connecticut. It's kəˈnɛtɪkət. Second C is not pronounced. Regards from the USA.

Qatar was wise enough to play smart and have plans B and C putting into effect, awesome 😎👍🇶🇦🇶🇦👏👏

I live in Qatar and...apart from some problems and concerns in the beginning...nothing really happened for the past 3 years...life was chill

Don't sell gas to Saudi or provide foreign investment. Once they pay up the $40 billion+ they harmed the currency and reserves then they can get support

A simple question: who is the good and who is the evil side? or does this not apply in politics!

This is the best channel on the internet

Actually, property prices increased by 30-40% during the blockade. Especially rents.

im from UAE and it is saddening to see my own people sanction our own brothers.

Excellent. Thanks !

As the Turkish Empire expands.

we are all family and we love each others 🇶🇦🇧🇭🇸🇦🇰🇼🇦🇪🇴🇲❤️GCC ❤️

Very informative videos that i think the only 500+ dislikes are probably for the Raycon ads

It wasn't on 5th of January. It was 5th of June 2017. It was during the month of Ramadan. I remember very well. Ramadan was in may-june of 2017. Wonder why no one in the comments noticed and point it out.

The Embargo was put in place after the meeting of all the heads of the gulf states in Riad with President Trump. It was Trumps first trip abroad. Qatar left this meeting in Riad premature well before the meeting was over. After this incident the embargo was set up. Would be interesting to know why Qatar left this important meeting early and was what the matter of the meeting. As soon as Trump arrived back in the States he announced and boasted about a 500 Bln USD arms deal made in Riad. Obviously Qatar withdrew from the deal made by Trump in Riad. The Embargo was then the result.

Very bad and deceiving report. The goal of the video is to make controversial videos to bring views. The Chanel doesn't have an ideology sometimes they attack iran and turkey and now they cheer up for countries who make connections with them. if anything the stop of blockade is mutually beneficial for all parties.

All three nations (SA, Qatar and UAE) are very close to each other. Culturally very close. They should never have any friction between themselves. I have been in UAE and Qatar and people are very friendly and hospitable. They provide opportunity for everyone with a skill. These things (frictions) do happen and hopefully they learn how to resolve issues between themselves. They have very smart young people who are well educated in the west and are doing everything to improve their standard of living. The only thing they should worry about is that the world is moving away from fossil fuel and this will have major impact on their economy. Now, is the right time for them to invest on their people and their countries and open the borders like EU for free movement. This will help to improve the relationship between these three nations and in the Arabian Peninsula. They should look forward and improve their relationship and forget about past. Good luck to them.

Very interesting thank you very much for shering video,

What about Egypt?

WHIT MY RESPECT TELL ME.? I visit 2 time Qatar and I don't now the time WER they block them,

Correction, the blockade started in June 2017 not January 2017. One just has to join the dots here. Trump visits Middle East and literally a few days Later after visiting Saudi Arabia a blockade is announced, then arms deals are approved between Saudi and USA. one has to wonder what the content of the discussions between MBS & Trump were. Add to this that as you stated Trump leaves office and within days blockade is lifted. Saudi I would say never wanted to enforce a blockade and were forced into this position, rest of the GCC countries simple had to follow.

Raycon earbuds is founded by the dude who made s@xtape with Kim kardashian. 😂

The use of the term "Blockade" is misleading. If planes of food and supplies are being flown into Qatar from Turkey and Iran then its not a blockade. A more correct term would be "Boycott"

Please end the embargo on Simon now!

thanks for info..

Whit my respect thank You Very much for shering video from Tokyo wishing You plesend evning,
