Saudi Crown Prince MBS Forced to Scale Back Plans For Desert Megacity "The Line"? |Firstpost America 

😂

😂😂😂

no !! the dash

@@yassersaeed2010 " the dash "

Brilliant😂

Probably stretching the term "well-educated" a bit too much there.

Strongly agree.

Well educated? 😂😂😂 he obviously has just enough neurones to use a bone saw!

It is a cash grab, they try new ways to get money to be independent of oil. And there already are more idiotic projects finished. Neom was dead before it was build.

100% agree!

😂😂😂

and the response of MBS: "Are you jealous of us?"

KSA oil reserves may have been overstated by as much as 300 billion barrels - nearly 40%.

😂😂😂

Save your expectations to solve your borders problem

What if the line is finished ?😂, will you continue saying good one to people’s bad jokes ?

We know that , it was a clear one, no need for this unnecessary comment

@@noonecares514 The first rule of Fight Club is.....

​@oFaisalo it won't be finished (at least not remotely similar to their concepts) even at a fundamental level, it isn't architecturally possible.

Completed 2060 with that rate.

@@TommyHoff Your math is a little bit off that’s why it’s not good to drop out of school too early 😂😂😂 They need 6 years to build 2,5km and even if they build the rest twice as fast it will be over 200 years 🤣🤣🤣

@@tamasvarga67Seems like you dont know its original length

@@Movingforward2000 It’s 170km. The 2,5km takes 6 years to complete and it’s 1/68th of the original length. The full length is 68x6 which is 408 years… but if they do it twice as fast it will be ready in 204. 😂😂😂

@@tamasvarga67 Right I just calculated that now I was mistaken about the length

Yes and shorter buildings

In fact, our quality of life in Saudi Arabia is very good. Education, healthcare and everything I mentioned is in the best condition. Why do we circle around the comfort zone? Why don't we dream and achieve?

Strongly agree.

😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don't be so open minded that your brain falls out your head.

A drunk man lying in his own vomit is a great visionary. MBS's visions result in Saudi bankruptcy.

Arabs from neighboring countries will comment on your words. They do not like it. They have envy and jealousy of Saudi Arabia because their countries are poor, and they dream of immigrating outside their countries. You will see in the comments.

@@Uiiiiuybn No, that’s just on weekends; when he doesn’t work…

Yeah but doing it with top down central planning is unlikely to succeed.

This is money laundering and a diversion. It was a stupid idea from the start. For me the long term future will be underground with small cities as entrence points on the surface and farms around them. We could capture all the waste products and reuse them or store them until we can find a use for them. Tech will need a lot of development but the benefites for the surface would be great. But that is if we continue with the plan of breathing as we did up until now. All this green energy talk by biggest polluters is just nonsense.

@@Shoutinthewind Look at China! It's working well for them. When you have one source of income it's better to have a top down control like a company. Better then bureaucratic delays and corruptions that often happens in democracies.

Diversifying the economy is an excellent idea but this project is a complete waste of money

MBS is a killer!! Remember Kashoggi? Plus for this project 1 tribe head was killed and three sentenced to death for not willing to move!!

lol, good one

Every other country allows women to drive and work. Saudi being the very last is not an achievement, it is pathetic.

We love Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and there is no Saudi citizen who does not love him, but the neighboring Arab countries are jealous and envious and always attack us

@@wordsofcheresie936 The only strange thing is that you want to attack Saudi Arabia. Saudi women used to hire a driver and were provided with all their requirements. They lived like princesses. They did not need to drive, but now they have everything. They lived like princesses, and now they live like princesses, better than the women of your country.

@@AnmarCrazyFacts-fw7rn It is well known that the average Saudi is not wealthy. Members of the royal family are wealthy, but not the vast majority of the public. Yes, Saudi women can finally drive but are you celebrating that they were the last women in the entire world to stop being treated like children? The women of Saudi wanted to drive very badly and many went to jail to try and win that right. It brings great shame to the royal family that they treat their subjects so poorly. Here is what the UN has to say about how the Royal family treats its subjects and especially its women: "After the public review of Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, the United Nations Human Rights Council’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Working Group report on Saudi Arabia, should serve as a blueprint for minimum measures the Saudi authorities must take to abide by their obligations under international human rights law, Amnesty International said. The report included 354 recommendations from 135 UN member states, many of them calling on the country to take substantive measures to ensure reforms, including in relation to guaranteeing the rights freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly, abolishing the death penalty, protecting migrant workers’ rights and eliminating all forms of discrimination against women. “That so many UN member states took this opportunity to confront Saudi Arabia about its litany of human rights abuses and press the country’s authorities for reform shows that without genuine human rights reform, no amount of money spent on image laundering and sportswashing campaigns can conceal the rapidly escalating repression in the country,” said Dana Ahmed, Amnesty International’s Middle East Researcher."

It is funny that the world is talking about us as Saudis, and the Saudis themselves are surprised by what is said about them, their projects, and the world’s jealousy towards them, hahaha

No, my dear, it is not a dream. It is reality. I am an engineer in NEOM and the project is being worked on, but the American newspapers always want problems with Saudi Arabia.

@@AnmarCrazyFacts-fw7rn The project will be completed in 2060 with this pace of progression! 😄😆

@@AnmarCrazyFacts-fw7rn No, my dear, is is fantasy. I am your boss in NEOM and the project is giving the illusion of being worked on, (thank you for contributing to the cover up by the way), but the Saudi officials always want to embezzle the funds allocated for their own personal needs.

Even 2.5km at 500m high sounds utterly absurd to me, astonishingly expensive... and utterly pointless. (500m is incredibly high for a 2.5km long structure)

@@AlexC-ou4ju cool, i run a small firm in dubai. Can i do business with saudis selling them some construction related goods? I got friends in saudi.

You are not welcome in Saudi Arabia, do not dream

I also find it hard to believe that with the calibre of people and expertise involved in the planning of this project, they somehow managed to overlook the obvious issues this project poses. Not to mention the undesirability of living there. I assumed they must have addressed all the issues, but now, after hearing about it for so long, I don't think they did. Money talks and it's likely that people just wanted to get paid. Just look at the World Islands and other projects in Dubai. Are there even enough 'Rich' people that would want to visit this place, more than once? They have squandered oil money for decades and have nothing to show for it, seems like they're getting desperate because they know it's running out.

Though it's hard project, obstacle will come, that is normal. Something they need to cut that obstacle. Or, they need one more Engineer like me to join with this project. Afterthat, Niom will get success.

@@swordofGod2430 My point is, other than it being odd, or different, which would make it an attraction, there is literally no other purpose for it. I.e why not just build a long line of skyscrapers??? But I may be wrong. Let's bet 5 doge coins and then we'll come back to this comment in 5 years and see who was right.😁

@@swordofGod2430 Are you an engineer to judge the difficulty of the project?

But MBS is not a good PR guy. People do not want to invest in this linear prison and that is why he can't get funding. All of the other countries realize that MBS is a fool who does not deserve his position.

Saudi Arabia does not need foreign investments. The Saudi state is the one that finances most of its projects. Saudi Arabia is not like Dubai, Singapore or Indonesia in order to need foreign investors. Rather, Saudi Arabia is rich and can build and finance its projects on its own. How many investors will pay to invest 100 billion? Saudi Arabia will cover this number in just one year.

@@wordsofcheresie936 My love, I see you attacking Saudi Arabia in comments in an extreme manner. I do not know whether Saudi Arabia did anything to you or whether you are spiteful. Saudi Arabia does not need any foreign investment. It builds its projects from its budget. It does not care whether investors come or go

@@AnmarCrazyFacts-fw7rn No one is dumb enough to invest in something like this!

@@AnmarCrazyFacts-fw7rn Check again. Saudi was desperate for foreign investors and when it couldn't get them it had to reduce the scale of the Line from 170km to 2.4 km. Why do you think that happened. Do you think it is because the Public Investment Fund didn't approve it? That is a sorry excuse because MBS is fully in control of the fund. MBS staked his reputation on the Line so he had every incentive to fund it. It was cut back when his advisors finnaly convinced him that the country was going bankrupt due to his NEOM fever dream. Read this paragraph from a new article and weep for the foolishness of MBS: "The pullback on The Line comes as the kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund has yet to approve Neom’s budget for 2024, the people familiar with the matter said. It shows that the financial realities of the trillions of dollars of investment are starting to cause concern at the highest levels of the Saudi government as it tries to fulfill its ambitious Vision 2030 program, the overarching initiative tasked with diversifying the kingdom’s economy. "

He will not surrender, and all this news from Western newspapers wants to disrupt the projects

Do you want us to laugh, for example?

I agree with you

Agree

Saudi Arabia does not need investments to finance its projects. Saudi Arabia is the one financing its projects, and everything Western newspapers write about postponing the project is all a lie

❤

This exactly what the Crown Prince have said when they criticize him for being over ambitious! Better be over positive so when the time come you accomplished something! Not zero accomplishment like in other countries.

It competes with Elon Musk’s Mars terraforming idea 😂

It appears as a tiny toddler he was dropped more than once by his Filipina ‘mother’ I wonder if his birthmother ever noticed the cognitive issues, during her annual views of him …

منجد هوسس

That's what losers always do. Instead of focusing on their problems such as borders, abortion, weapons, partisan division, etc., they prefer to magnify others' problems to make them feel better

Saudi Arabia litterly made fun of Biden in a few comedy videos. Second, Saudi Arabia tried to bankrupt the US oil industry. It has also tried to Cosy up to China while benefiting from US protection. Yet, MBS got a bit arrogant and tried to criticize the US on many occasions. So, there is no live list there. Third, I thought this was an Indian owned channel.

Because it has been advertised worldwide

Because nobody needs your permission to discuss whatever interests them.

@@batarasiagian9635 This is my country and you have no right to speak in a country that is not your country

Why though? Many would be interested.

@@sudhakar7889 Do not listen to him. He is an Arab from neighboring countries, and you know the extent of their hatred for Saudi Arabia

176 km actually

Are you afraid of Saudi Arabia? Saudi Arabia makes the impossible. We built our homes on top of the mountains and the desert. Why can’t we build the city of Line?

No one said that NEOM ends in 2030 lol Only the American media predicted this 🤣

There is no reliable source claiming that it failed, it is just nonsense from some envious people😂😂

@@user-wr6wr2wf8r There is no reliable oil source able to fund this

Sri Lanka?!! 😂😂😂

Sri Lanka ? Didn't China gave Sri Lanka loans so that it could later control it lol? No thanks, we do not want to learn from China. Their factories are already running thanks to our oil

Nope! I haven’t seen it anywhere 😮

@@niviamaeva when they announced the project on the first day they announced also that it was gonna be in 3 phases and everyone in Saudi Arabia knows this thing😊

From Saudi Arabia thank you,

And this is coming from someone who lives in a freezer? lol

No problemm! We'll be happy as you said
