Description


In the corridors of power, whispers echo—a seismic shift is brewing in the heart of the Middle East. As Saudi Arabia grapples with internal strife, economic challenges, and geopolitical tensions, the specter of a second Arab Spring looms large. Join hosts Rob and Ruairi as they delve into the delicate balance between autocracy and dissent, exploring the fault lines that could ignite a new era of revolution.
? Episode Highlights:


The Fragile Kingdom: Peel back the layers of Saudi Arabia’s power structure—the monarchy, oil wealth, and religious conservatism—unveiling vulnerabilities that threaten its stability.

Echoes of the Past: Reflect on the lessons learned from the first Arab Spring—a wave of hope, dashed dreams, and geopolitical recalibration.



The Domino Effect: Explore how Saudi Arabia’s collapse could reverberate across neighboring nations, igniting a chain reaction of protests, demands for accountability, and calls for freedom.

Geopolitical Chess: Analyze the global players—Russia, China, and the West—jockeying for influence in a post-collapse landscape.

Hope vs. Despair: Can a second Arab Spring bring genuine transformation, or will it plunge the region into chaos? The answer lies in the hands of millions yearning for justice.

Tune in to The More Freedom Foundation as we navigate the shadows of uncertainty, dissecting the potential catalysts and consequences of a second awakening. ?✨

The More Freedom Foundation is trying to save the world every week. We’re at an odd point in history. We could be on the cusp of a new Golden Age, or we could be marching down the path to World War III. Despite the picture presented by most of our media, the world really is in great shape. The world is governed by US power and a set of institutions that have largely succeeded in bringing about unparalleled peace and prosperity. The only country strong enough to tear down this Pax Americana is the US itself.
