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 ........

What country instigates war and will panic if “peace” breaks out around the world? Hasn’t the US been exposed for funding protests in Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia in Africa and in other countries for no other purpose than to block China’s investments & global rise? Why are we pouring billions into weapons, supplying weapons to the countries currently at war to kill civilians? Why aren’t we investing all this taxpayers’ money back into our country’s infrastructure to build a better place for people to live?

His highness knows more about Bush's relation with Laden, as he admits Bush invited Alquida to UN/US, implying he was party to 9/11 and Afghans were not.
As an Iraqi, I salute Prince Turki Al-Faisal for his brilliant ideas and way of thinking, and I wish the Arab countries to benefit from such men and not to depend on corrupt politicians.

This interview is crucial and has been made at a very significant moment. HRH Prince Turki al Faisal's narrative of events is spot on👍 .Exactly 40yrs ago The soviets invaded Afghanistan, His Majesty King Khaled was king and the news headlines at the time was Afghanistan and the mujahideen. My family had just arrived in Jeddah,.l was twelve yrs old. HIS Royal Highness was head of intelligence at the time. I can't wait to get a copy of your book. Saudi Arabia is blessed to have Prince Turki he is a walking Historical Encyclopedia . Sending you much love and Honour. God Bless you always.
Very insightful interview
Prince Turki Al-Faisal is a seasoned statesman, the interviewer did an amazing job. It was a pleasure to watch a candid view of an important Suadi X-official and member of the Royal family about the US, Afghanistan, Iran and the world in general.

Thank you very much Price Turki for this rich information and thanks to CNBC for conducting this excellent interview.
Very interesting very knowledgeable discussion
Love the way he is providing his assessments on the current political affairs!!
He makes some good points.
VERY ENLIGHTENING TURKI AL FAISAL
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
Such as clear and honest interview. He is allowed to speak in his own words. She asks very clear objective questions. Its about being transparent and truthful. This is great reporting and very informative, We need so much more of this type of coverage and from such witnesses to history. Thank you..
I love this interview.

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
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

His Highness is considered as one of the great Arab intellectuals and a expert politician. This time should be used to gain more important information from this great man His Highness Prince Turkey Al Faisal.
