@minestar2247 so the Nile and Fertile Crescent are enough to feed the entire arid middle East? Is this not the same Egypt, Iraq, etc that depends on Ukraine and Russia for grain?🤔
Only Israel, Lebanon and Turkey actually practice capitalism and liberalism. The rest of you don't. Property rights are not strong, sl*very still exists, you have low industrialization and manufacturing. Your economies are largely state-owned with no innovation or diversification.
The tribalism and atomization wasn't caused by the US. It has always existed. Sunni-Shia schisms. Repression of minority tribes like Druze and Yazidis and Ibadis. Suppression of Christians, Berbers etc. always been there.
Dutch disease has also been there from the start. Before oil, most of your societies were focused on spice, gemstones, pearls or other single commodities. Oil just replaced all that. If you were truly capitalist, you would have diversified your economies🤔

Whenever i hear someone say "Islam will take over the world", the reality of the middle East and the history if the region tells me otherwise😕 Any region, culture, religion tribe that rejects modernity, rationality and stability will never be stable or widely viable. There's a reason why the only Muslim regions/countries that tend to do well are Turkey, Indonesia, Oman, and Southwestern Nigeria because their cultures people promote tolerance, education, secularism, entrepreneurship, modernity and industry which the Arab world rejects and will always reject.
