White People and their relations with Gulf Countries

I was talking to this hillbilly woman from New Zealand I hardly know…I told her how the oil resources are running out and stuff. She told me that it doesn’t matter because Qatar has enough resources for the next 80 years for the whole US. She sounded very satisfied. Just a minute ago she was bashing Saudi for lashing a blogger who’s in news. I think something is wrong with this attitude. Something wrong…But I Don’t know what. Americans and British love to criticise everything that goes on in these countries but then they have no shame using their energy resources and supplying them with weapons.

I’m sick of seeing people totally overlooking this fact. I mean yeah flogging is wrong but have you ever questioned your own behaviour? Have you ever questioned yourself for supporting your country when it decided to bomb Iraq and Afghanistan? When it used chemical weapons in Fallujah? Why this holier than thou attitude is common among who live in the West?

Economics and morality are two different subjects. Do we Muslims not immigrate to and enjoy benefits provided by western society and at the same time criticize their immoral behavior? We, humans, just like to criticize to feel good about ourselves.

When the Sauds were taking over current “Saudi Arabia” pretty much ISIS style, they had complete backing of the British Empire at that time. Remember that Bushes are still best friends with Saudi Royal family.

The hue and cry about dictatorships and human rights is only a charade for invasions and interference in middle east.

Oh the irony of that statement and the stuff you posted in PA against the Saudis inviting NS.

I was more amazed at the fact that she wanted it all for US instead of New Zealand.

I don’t think Shamraz and Southie would agree with your last sentence.

Re: White People and their relations with Gulf Countries

You assume wrong. Have always spoke up against double standards. And have been against ALL wars in the last 55 years.

Back on topic. Storage tanks across the world are 70 to 90 pct full. Nowhere to put oil..supply outstripping demand. Prices expect to drop some more.

XOM cutting cost of production could put further downward pressure.

Btw, oil prices will start to increase again within next 1 or 2 years.

Informative article. May be it is correct long term. But it blew short term projections. Predicted 200 $/barrel. It is at 50.

Saudi Arabia becomes world’s biggest defense importer

Saudi Arabia has passed India to become the world’s biggest arms importer last year as concerns about Iran’s ambitions increase tensions in the Middle East.

Saudi spending rose 54 percent to $6.5 billion last year, while India imported $5.8 billion, according to data released Sunday by IHS, a leading analyst of the global arms trade. Imports will increase 52 percent to $9.8 billion this year, accounting for $1 of every $7 spent globally, IHS estimated, based on planned deliveries…

Re: White People and their relations with Gulf Countries

Very interesting. But why Saudi and India are the biggest importers? I mean why the need to spend so much money on arms?

Re: White People and their relations with Gulf Countries

India has traditionally been a big importer (from Russia mainly), after Chinese started making their own stuff.

Saudi Arabia was not even in top 10 a decade ago. They perhaps have to defend themselves against big bad Iran and ISIS now.
