Yes, buy purchasing their oil we helped them to escalate their population to far beyond what their other resources can comfortably support. We also helped them to promote extreme Islamic beliefs around the world while they repressed their own moderates. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcin2 + 726 MK April 21, 2020 (edited) They are nothing special, a lot of countries without civil liberties in this world. Only we hardly have any news about African, Asian or Latin American backward oppresive regimes, they have no oil so we do not know anything about them. (Among all Latin American, US cares only about civil liberties in Venezuela, Wait! They do have largest oil reserves. No it must be coincidental, Americans just care about their civil liberties) Edited April 21, 2020 by Marcin2 typo 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AFAIK, every theocratic system eventually devolved. Even Christianity - a religion ostensibly built on peace and love - devolved into an oppressive dictatorship under the rule of the Catholic Church. Decades of violence were necessary to correct that situation. Has there been an all-powerful theocratic system that didn't suffer the same fate? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a place where many Westerners met in a country thought people there were still living on mainly coconut trees in the millennium era....... A friend of mine was doing some background papers search on a topic. He mentioned that the advancement of some countries, which we often deem still in the woods, might have been overlooked. They might have produced something but published mainly in their own languages that we might not understand or come up on search engines........ They are after all backwoods, with the most troublesome language barrier. Hence, we take no notice .......... We might only know what we want to know, the way we used to know, with little else effort........ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One Middle East Country stepped up for the USA and took on a war with the rest of the Middle East as a USA ally. Since then, the USA has forever been in Israel's debt. Up to then, Iranians always rioted for Regime change. With the help of the USA, regime change took place without warring with other Countries and from within with the CIA's assist. Oil flowed world-wide from Iran. They say that the Iranian women in mini-skirts rivaled Paris, France for fashion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Regan + 1,776 May 1, 2020 Why does most of the civilized world look at all of the Middle East Countries as hell on earth. Why because it doesn't fit in with the culture of the white devils who plundered it and turned it into the boiling cauldron it is, most have never been there and are heavily impressioned by the agenda on topic. The Seven Sisters the original Cartel, well worth a read anyone who hasn't read it has no business commenting on the middle east or the modern oil business and the ME.
