Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has Western nations looking to the
Middle East for their oil supplies, but are they obliging? And
could the conflict in Europe spark another round of uprisings
across the Arab world? Human rights activist and authoritarianism
expert Iyad el-Baghdadi joins Arthur Snell to discuss what Putin’s
war means for the Middle East. We're putting out irregular
war bulletins covering different aspects of the Ukraine crisis.

can be found here: https://ukrainewar.carrd.co/ “MBS has a personal
like of Putin, and in some ways he’s modelled himself on him.”
“America is not going to defend MBS against a popular uprising.”
“The Saudi Army cannot vanquish ragtag militias in Yemen. It needs
Western security guarantees.” “Bread is the staple across the Arab
region... Egypt imports 80% of its wheat from Ukraine or Russia.”
“Riots about bread prices quickly turn into riots about corruption,
mismanagement and repression.” “The only group who can check a
dictator and end his power for good is his own people.” DOOMSDAY
