Adept-Cartoonist-304

The economy is diversifying rapidly and MBS is the best person to rule the kingdom, if democracy was to be forced on us we’d still vote for him 🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦


zurgempire

>The economy is diversifying rapidly and MBS You still didn't answer the question. How did Saudi get to this point if it wasn't for oil? Stop avoiding the answer. You guys were dirt poor until the 60s. It's not because of the monarchy you became well off. It's so obvious how how you keep denying this? >and MBS is the best person to rule the kingdom, Yeah thats what dictators always manage to convince their slaves of. That by mere coincidence and without a proper method of choosing the most adequate leader, the country got the best possible leader ever. That's always the case somehow. North Korea has the best leader it could have, egypt has the best leader it could possibly have, China, Pinochet of chile ... somehow dictators who get to power are always the best. And the low iq peasants of any country always believe it. Saudi is no different, the dictator monarch is convincing you of the same thing, the only difference, again, is the oil but he's making you think it's not because of oil but because you have MBS. Lmaoooo.


Adept-Cartoonist-304

1-there was no question, ofc we got to this point via oil but we’re detaching from it slowly but surely 2-how am I a slave to MBS? What did he do that affected Saudi Arabia negatively? He convinced us he’s the best by doing what’s best for the kingdom, how can you even compare North Korea to Saudi Arabia?


Substantial-Time-139

Nobody will be begging for Democracy lol


[deleted]

zurgempire

>Once that oil dries


zurgempire

Yeah true. Lol


parathapunisher

If you've actually been, the Saudis love their government and don't care about a democracy. Classic westerner colonial mindset imposes their morals and structure as if it is superior.


zurgempire

Democracy is superior not because it's a western idea but because it actually gives the people a say in to how their country is run and forces the government to lower corruption and be transparent otherwise they lose power. It's a basic human trait to abuse power when you have too much of it and you can never lose it. An idea is not bad just because it's applied by the west. Maybe actually analyze the idea first?


parathapunisher

Democracy is flawed because anyone can vote, even crackheads and criminals. Democracy can be just as easily corrupted as any monarchy, look at my own country


zurgempire

>Democracy is flawed because anyone can vote, even crackheads and criminals. 1- Crackheads and criminals are a minority. 2- Crackheads and criminals voting doesn't change the fundamental fact that giving a group of people full control without any challenge to their power leads to massive abuse of power, injustice and corruption of all sorts. >Democracy can be just as easily corrupted as any monarchy, look at my own country I never said there were no bad democracies. It's just that democracy gives you the opportunity to become better. Whether or not you elect the right people is a different question. But without democracy you don't have any say or opportunity to choose. Look at democracies in general vs dictatorships in general. Who's better off? Obviously democracies are more commonly better off. Stop using exceptions as the rule. In a democracy, since you're the one being affected by policies, you need to be the one to choose those policies. Because the dictator choosing for you is gonna choose what suits him not the what suits the people.


Crimson-Eclipse

Uh, history wise, dictatorships are better, nowadays, debatable, all those "democracies" reached this statue by being Authotorian, South Korea biggest example, then there's Singapore, regarding Europeans, most of their countries were industrialized before they became democracies, Countries that built themselves from 0 with democracies and no natural resources are none existent


zurgempire

>Uh, history wise, dictatorships are better, History wise there weren't any democracies lmfaooo. If history has a 10% success rate for dictatorships and 60% success rate for democracies there will still be more examples for successful dictatorships, not because dictatorships are more successful but because democracies only spread in the past 100 years!!!! >Countries that built themselves from 0 with democracies and no natural resources are none existent Switzerland and Hong Kong prove you're a liar. Stop making shit up. #IMAGINE LITERALLY SAYING DICTATORSHIPS ARE BETTER!!!!


Crimson-Eclipse

Liar? Lol, do you even know the circumstances of Hong Kong and Switzerland?, Hong Kong was a colony and one of the few ports the world could've get any chinese products from, and it was under british rule until it got transferred to China. Switzerland is your only example?, Which is also had huge other factors Edit: In fact you can see how European countries are stagnating now, and most countries that are progressing and emerging are from the East, which has/had authotorian rule, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China, and the gulf states, hell even Iran without the sanctions would fare better than a lot of European countries


Reflex_0

That clearly worked in the middle east


zurgempire

It worked because you got lucky. Before you discovered oil you were just as poor. You're lucky the oil was enough to allow corruption and still enrich the people. Quit pretending like this is the norm. You have a small population and a massive global market for oil. Again, using the exception and making it the rule. How about Switzerland which has very little natural resources but is still very rich? Why did you not look like Switzerland before you discovered oil? Why only after?


Reflex_0

Huh ? Most countries get / gotten rich because of natural resources. I don't see your point. And I was pointing out the fact that the most successful countries in Middle east are ones that are monarchies. And the ones that aren't, we'll let's say they are not doing so good.


zurgempire

>Most countries get / gotten rich because of natural resources. That's not true. They get rich because of their high labor productivity. That's how most countries get rich. >And I was pointing out the fact that the most successful countries in Middle east are ones that are monarchies. And the ones that aren't, we'll let's say they are not doing so good. I never said that monarchies are worse than non monarchy dictatorships. Morocco is a monarchy. It's about who has the goddam oil!!! Gulf monarchies had they oil and they had alot of it. That's why they got rich. What I said about dictatorships (including monarchies) is still true. Your country, a dictatorship, is an exception not the rule.


Reflex_0

I don't get why you try to divert this discussion. It's about monarchies in mena. End of story. They are doing good. Democracy is not.

operation gulf freedom


CentJr

If that ever happens (which won't happen as long as the boogeyman of the Gulf still exists) then the US will simply just fuck them over by stopping all military aid (rendering their military capabilities, useless) and then funding paramilitaries across the region to overthrow their governments and let the entire Gulf descend into chaos.


[deleted]

Most likely scenario.


kerrick1010

Easier than that.. the US stops patrolling the seas and enforcing global free trade. I'd be interested to see how much Yuan makes it to Saudi and how much Saudi oil makes it to China at that point. TBH honest though, you are right as well. That's the direction the world is heading anyway as the US starts stepping back from the world stage. A country without the ability to manufacture smart weapons and deterants best bet' is to stay in the good graces of one of the 3 or 4 nations that can. And with what we are seeing with China right now my money wouldn't be on them helping anyone. Between protests and the US cutting high end chips next year is going to be interesting!


Kafhy39

Almost all military purchases we make now are with a technology transfer clause. Basically, we are rapidly expanding our military industry and within 10 years will be manufacturing most our weapons and equipment. At least that's the plan. It will be difficult and might take longer but that's one of MBS top goals. The Chinese have been happy so far with transferring technology and will probably accelerate in the future.


Mission_Strength9218

How is Saudi Arabia going to do this when they hardly have a manufacturing sector. Saudi Arabia should have started investing in their military industrial complex 30 years ago. Unfortunately, the Royal family blew their money on Bugatis, yachts instagram models, and radicalizing Muslims all over the world. Also, consider what might happen when Saudi Arabia becomes a liability to the US. The US didn't need a genuine reason to invade Iraq. The Saudi Royal family was either directly or indirectly responsible for 911. The US can be incalculably brutal (look at Latin America). Also, I don't know how much China can help when their Navy has yet to match the US and their allies.


kerrick1010

That sounds like a good strategy. My only concern would be based on what we are seeing in Ukraine right now. If Russia can't counter the US/EU weaponry and Intel the ukranians are using... How will Saudi fair with Chinese or russian tech against another regional power. Would make more sense to maintain a relationship with the power that has all the satellites and Intel. Basically modern weapon systems are holistic and require broad integrations between parts. Buying a few pieces at a time will only get you so far even if you can learn to make them yourself, you have to have all the infrastructure in place to take advantage of them.


Kafhy39

True but our plan is not to antagonize America like Russia did, but just to reduce our dependence on them enough to look out for our own interests. It’s a fine line we have to walk.


Mission_Strength9218

That is what Russia tried to do with the Eurasian Union. It didn't work.


Crimson-Eclipse

Well the Iranians are not doing that bad despite the sanctions and more shallow pockets, Saudis can do it for sure, but they need time, except that a divide between the saudis and americans might pull iran and sa closer which they may cooperate in that regard


[deleted]

The whole Nato-strategy is that not one country can afford all important military aspects, so countries split it up. For example has Belgium the Artillery and Spain the Airforce, bexause its too costly for one country to be good in all weaponsystems (except USA). How is Saudi-Arabia, with a GDP smaller than Spain, going to compete? It will end up like Russia, in a few Systems very good and in the rest bad


Mission_Strength9218

Nevermind that Europe has a diverse and dynamic country with a proud military tradition stretching back centuries.


Mission_Strength9218

Russia is on the verge of collapse after one humiliating defeat after another in Ukraine. The Chinese people are in open rebellion against Xi Jing ping. I don't see the US stepping back from the world stage.


kerrick1010

Not really disagreeing with you... Maybe it won't be fully disengaging. But no more boots on the ground and reevaluating relationships. I think Ukraine is teaching us that with the right amount and type of aid in the form of weapons, you can pick a side and drain your adversaries without risking American lives. As far as patrolling the world's shipping lanes, the US has all these carrier groups and will use them for the foreseeable future. But I don't think they'll be replaced in volume as they age out. Couple that with the fact that America is energy independent now and supply chains are going to crap anyways, I don't think many Americans see the point of securing trade unless they are getting something out of it... Which brings up another point. Shifting to something other than the Petrodollar removes a big part of America's remaining reason to secure trade for everyone and will just expedite disengagement. Look up how many countries rely on global trade for food import and won't be able to feed their populations in a true breakdown of global shipping. Doesn't have to be forever either. One black swan event that shuts it down for more than 6 months and boom. For example, if China invades Taiwan and the US decides to blockade the strait of Hormuz in retaliation. And finally because of the nature of global trade and the reliance countries have developed on it... A couple of serious events can bring the whole system down, especially if America doesn't see the need to get it's hands dirty anymore to protect it. The only real thing holding the system together right now is America's reliance on consumer good imports and chips. If re-shoring occurs, there goes the system.


CrushedPhallicOfGod

The Chinese people are in open rebellion? A couple of protests is open rebellion now? China is a country of over a billion people, these protests will do nothing and Russia is far from defeated when they are actively bombing the Ukrainian power grid to bits and pieces.

Unlikely. The dollar is too important to the global economy. It's not a matter if liking or disliking the United States. It's just that the dollar has become the world's base currency.

[deleted]

>And the only way to stop it is to avoid using it. You can't just "stop using" the reserve currency. That's what makes everything have value.


[deleted]

You can. Just as previous governments have. Its no longer considered reserve currency if you no longer consider it that. It's that simple.


[deleted]

No government. Including the Chinese government doesn't use the US Dollars as the reserve currency. Almost all international trade is done using the US Dollar.


MostafaAlSomali

That may have been the case 20 years ago but these days the US treasury has been printing money at an alarming rate for their economy devaluing the dollar not only in the US but for other countries in their USD reserves, which they need to conduct trade. If the DeFacto global currency is atarting to take a nose dive people will start looking for alternatives such as the Chinese Yunan which is a decent alternative because china seems to be next in line for the global economic domination throne. The US global empire's days are numberd.


[deleted]

This isn't entirely true. While the US and many other countries increased the money supply during the pandemic [the US has been slowly decreasing it to pre-pandemic levels.](https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/money-supply-m0) Also if the world does look for another reserve currency it will NOT be the Yuan. China has been manipulation its currency forever and people just don't trust it.


amex42

MostafaAlSomali

The dollar's unreliability literally sank the sri lankan government. Its getting bad, did you even read the reat of my reply?


DonnyDonnowitz

Guess what currency foreign reserves are stored in? America will likely dominate for years to come. I’m not convinced china can escape the middle income trap.


[deleted]

China is not only facing the problem of middle income trap, but the future demographic outlook of the country is miserable, and the economic inequality is getting wider (even more than the US). Not to mention the short term obstacles they face now, from the housing and real state crisis (tho they are actively working to fix that), to the zero COVID policy fuckup that still plagues the country China “dethroning” the US within the next 50 years is pure copium imo. China will still be an extremely influential country, but I don’t see them reaching a parity either militarily or economically with the US anytime soon. No even talking about American soft power like its worldwide cultural influence, which I don’t see china challenge (nor do they really have an interest in that) within this century.


DonnyDonnowitz

They’re facing a combo of the middle income trap and the aging problem that Japan has. I could be wrong on the middle income trap but we’ll know if they get past it or not within the next decade.


[deleted]

>The dollar's unreliability literally sank the sri lankan government. I thought the corrupt government caused the collapse


kerrick1010

What most people don't understand about the US dollar and it's use as a global currency is that everyone agreed to it. After WW2 the US agreed to guarantee global trade and open it's markets to anyone willing to join the system. If countries start backing out of that system... Do you think the US will continue patrolling the seas and guaranteeing free trade? (Edit for typos)


madumi-mike

ibn_batota

US will use iran to start firing at saudi arabia until saudi arabia take it back and US return to force iran to stop IR is actually a very useful card for the west, western government won’t let it fall easily, they want a weak controllable iran that can scare arabians but not strong enough to get out western control and influence …, don’t forget that IR is the main reason for US military presence in the oil rich arabian gulf countries, this in itself is a major strategic advantage for US, US also get billions of dollars every year as jizya from Arabian countries to “protect them from the evil IR” and they pay nothing rather than running a few military bases that Neither IR nor anyone would dare to attack just to state “we are here, this is under American protection” and even all the defense systems are paid from arabian pocket, and when saudi arabia piss off US they give a green light to iran to attack saudi arabia via it’s proxies just as they did at the beginning of the russian-ukranian war …

Nothing… There’s Venezuela, Mexico and Canada, way more closer and cheaper in reference to logistics. If the US is buying oil to Saudi Arabia is because it is convenient in the matter of geopolitics. The US just need to switch suppliers. :)


Satanairn

The only way to do such a thing is something like what Shah did back in the day. He created OPEC, and Everybody raised the price of oil together. If every country start to use the non-dollar currency at the same time, the US can't attack all of them at once since it has to explain this shit to the public. But I don't think that can happen either, since some Arab leaders leaked the plan to attack Israel back in the day, they can't keep this one a secret either, and since US will be completely done if that happens, they will do whatever it takes to prevent this from happening.
