Reagan succeeded where Biden failed
When Ronald Reagan assumed the presidency of the United States of America in 1981, the Cold War was at its peak. It had been almost two years after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, disrupting the security system in the Arabian Gulf. In the meantime, his country faced a major crisis in Iran, the former ally, after a reactionary revolution seized power, occupied his embassy and detained hundreds of American diplomats. Also, the Iran-Iraq war broke out and the Gulf oil fields came under the fire of war, and posed a threat to the global economy.After four decades, US President Joe Biden is facing part of the challenge encountered by his predecessor Reagan, and that is with the Russians, the successors of the Soviets. However, Biden sank even before the first challenge. Here the difference...

Mohammed Bin Salman: Architect of Vision 2030; ardent lover of Saudi culture
On April 25, 2016, a Monday afternoon — a day in the moderate spring season featuring light rain. Like every Monday, on that day too every Saudi citizen listened to the news bulletin. It was a bulletin that the Saudi people were eagerly waiting to listen to in order to know what decisions were taken by the weekly session of the Council of Ministers.In that particular bulletin, the news broadcast by the media was not just an ordinary decision or a recommendation; but it was a decision that defined their fate and charted out their future when the Council of Ministers approved the Saudi Vision 2030.Just hearing the term Vision was strange to the ordinary local people, and the number 2030 was even more strange as the mind is accustomed to the number five as a maximum for planning through...

Historical projections on the reality of Ukraine and its president
There was no threat of a World War III though Russia invaded Ukraine recently.The world was on the brink of an outbreak of World War III in 1962 when the then Soviet President Khrushchev agreed with Cuban President Fidel Castro to deploy Soviet nuclear missile launchers on the territory of Cuba, and the deployment was actually made. It was at that time US President John F. Kennedy threatened his Soviet counterpart that if the Soviet Union did not withdraw the missile launchers and cancel the planned deployment of more launchers, the US Army would be ordered to launch a strike on them, and it would be - as Kennedy threatened - World War III!After this ultimatum, Khrushchev agreed to completely withdraw the missile launchers from Cuba. Only a few people know that Khrushchev’s approval was...

We have an exciting future that women will help to shape
Many countries mark International Women’s Day by celebrating achievements and raising awareness of bias.In modern Saudi Arabia, I think we can go much further on this special day.Instead of being content with how far we have come in a short time, we can look to a bright future full of excitement.For us, International Women’s Day should be a day of charting our rise towards a truly equal society, where women can help lead the way.Therefore, it should be about ambition as much as it should be about celebration.Life has changed and very quickly, if you think that in 2018, women were allowed to drive for the first time.A year later, a decree meant a male’s permission was no longer needed to get a passport, to travel, go to university or go out with friends.This was obviously life...

Prince Muhammad Bin Salman charms people with halal magic
There is permissible and forbidden magic. Also, magic is ambiguity, and ambiguity is useful and harmful. It is useful when it is used correctly and harmful when it is used badly.The word magician is deemed an accusation when it is used to label prophets and messengers of God. However, it is an advantage and a virtue when it is used to call the talented and creative people in any field and in any art. In this sense, we can say that Prince Muhammad Bin Salman has charmed people with halal magic.“Constructive ambiguity” is a term generally credited to former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. He spoke about the deliberate use of ambiguous language on a sensitive issue as a strategy. The superstitious people in the ancient time used ambiguity to promote “witchcraft.”Prince Muhammad...

An exceptional prince with creativity and courage, and who cannot be copied
IN times of such cloudy skies over the international political arena, the world needs great leaders with boldness, clarity and courage as that of Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman to put dots over the letters.There is no doubt that the interview conducted with him by the American magazine “The Atlantic” confirms the keenness that the world attaches to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the great political and economic weight enjoyed by the country, as well as the Kingdom’s aspirations to achieve the goals of Vision 2030, which both friends and enemies alike testify to. The interview confirms something very important; that is the personality of Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, who is able to elaborate on a wide range of topics such as jurisprudence, schools of thought, politics, and...

David Beckham — sports legend and artist
No player in sporting history has improved the ideal and typical use of media like the former Manchester United player, David Beckham, who turned it into a school of sports business and marketing.Beckham became a trailblazer for other players who have benefited following his footsteps in their investment and private lives. Therefore, the Beckham legacy has led him to become the only English global brand.Beckham stole the attention at the UEFA’s final game between England vs. Italy, where Italy crowned the champion. Everyone noticed the media's interest in reporting Beckham's reactions even though he is a retired player for over a decade.Beckham, as we can call him a legendary artist (or the most powerful artist) in the sports world, had mapped the road to stardom along with other...

New Cold War, or World War III?
IT will not be a war in the sense of its predecessors, the First and Second World Wars. But it could be a world war of a new kind, which the world has not known before.Certainly, Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine created unmistakable new facts on the ground: He undoubtedly imposed a new world order. It is completely different from the world order imposed by the West on Russia after the end of World War II. It is a system that has nothing in common with the old system except Russia's commitment to what was known as the "Woodrow Wilson Theory", which allows any country the right to block whatever it sees as a threat to its national security.Putin saw the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the independent Soviet republics, and...

Why is Founding Day important?
Saudi Arabia’s recent announcement to hold the annual celebration of the Founding Day is a very important event not only in correcting history, but also in dealing with reality and building the future.The legitimacy of states develops with the development of data and the changes of history. The history of Muslims teaches us that the Umayyad state was unable to develop its legitimacy and came to an end within decades, while the Abbasid state was able to maintain continuous development and hence it lasted for centuries.Imam Muhammad Bin Saud, founder of the first Saudi state, is really worthy of mention. We must remember the unique position that he enjoyed while all his contemporaries were unable to achieve a similar position.The moment of his hiring of the preacher Muhammad Bin Abdul...

Easing travel restrictions
I was one among the first of those, who called for subjecting citizens to a coronavirus test before their return to the Kingdom from abroad. And that was when the mutated Omicron variant broke out in countries frequented by Saudis such as Britain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. But the decision in this regard had been delayed for several weeks.And when it was issued, the benefits from it declined for several reasons, including that tens of thousands of citizens had already returned. Hence there was no longer an actual need for this, especially since the prevailing trend in many countries was to ease travel restrictions, and not tightening them!In my opinion, rescinding the condition to have undergone a negative PCR test on return flights was a matter of time, especially with the...
