Scott Ritter discusses the current situation in Iran and also discusses India at the end

https://www.youtube.com/live/euTjsj7OonU?si=POqldmnh-fF0S4zu I am not optimistic about India because I don't think India there India hasn't made a strategic decision yet. Remember India was in 1:01:301 hour, 1 minute, 30 secondsIsrael making common cause with the Israelis right before this war started. 1:01:351 hour, 1 minute, 35 secondsum that doesn't sit well and India is problematic when it comes to China and Pakistan. I mean Pakistan 1:01:431 hour, 1 minute, 43 secondsI think Pakistan is one of the great superstars of this crisis. The the leadership that Pakistan has shown the maturity that Pakistan has shown the 1:01:511 hour, 1 minute, 51 secondsability of Pakistan to um work with the United States, with China, with Russia, with Iran um and others to to create the 1:01:581 hour, 1 minute, 58 secondspotential for a diplomatic solution. If ever there was, you know, an entity that deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, if if this if this 1:02:081 hour, 2 minutes, 8 secondscan if if if this conflict can be brought to an end, I think the Pakistani leadership deserves collectively the 1:02:151 hour, 2 minutes, 15 secondsNobel Peace Prize for the role they played in making peace possible. Um because it's amazing what they've done. 1:02:211 hour, 2 minutes, 21 secondsUh superb diplomacy. Um but you know, India is problematic. I mean, India is a problem child. It's big. It's powerful. 1:02:301 hour, 2 minutes, 30 secondsUm but they don't know where they want to be in the world and as long as India is indecisive like that. Now maybe this 1:02:371 hour, 2 minutes, 37 secondsmeeting will you know be the beginning of India's you know transition to being serious about bricks 1:02:451 hour, 2 minutes, 45 secondsbut right now India is not serious about bricks not serious at all. and he is more serious about uh you know G20 1:02:521 hour, 2 minutes, 52 secondsviability and uh you know hoping against hope to get an invitation into the the G7 um which will never 1:03:001 hour, 3 minuteshappen. Um you know India's also continues to lobby for relevance at the security council and they feel they need the United States uh support to uh to 1:03:091 hour, 3 minutes, 9 secondsget that. So India is is is putting far too much weight on a relationship with the United States that's no longer 1:03:161 hour, 3 minutes, 16 secondsglobally relevant. Um I mean the bottom line is India's future must be with repairing relations with China and um https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euTjsj7OonU

Laith Marouf discusses Lebanon and the fraud between UAE and Saudi Arabia

From 24 minutes onwards, Laith Marouf describes the origin of UAE, Qatar and how the ruling families are branches of the Saudi Royal family which is leading to the current fauds https://www.youtube.com/live/gGc-ym4-gpQ?si=6Xh8hW8rUhv_lOKE A quick search does not agree with Marouf's assertion. From Quora: Key points and clarifications “Blood relation” in Gulf monarchies usually means close patrilineal descent or first/second-degree kinship. The major ruling houses (Al Saud, Al Thani, Al Nahyan, Al Khalifa, Al Maktoum) each descend from different tribal lineages; they are distinct dynasties rather than offshoots of a single immediate family. Intermarriage: political marriages between ruling families and elite clans are common. These create marital ties (in‑laws, cousins by marriage) but do not imply close direct blood descent between the sovereigns unless specifically documented. For example, members of UAE ruling families sometimes intermarry with other Gulf royals, producing bilateral kin connections at the extended-family level. Distant tribal ancestry: many Gulf dynasties share broad Arabian tribal origins going back centuries. Those shared roots explain cultural and historical affinity but do not constitute close genealogical kinship among current rulers. Practical implication: there is no simple close-blood relationship (father/son, brothers, first cousins) tying the current heads of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi (UAE) and Bahrain together. They lead separate dynasties with occasional marital ties and distant tribal commonality.
