[The Grand Nudger]

There are no "allies" strong enough to gain their favor in the region. Caring about allies is only taken into consideration by a secular government to gain interest back to the people under that government. The only interest I see for a western state to become allies with an Arab state, is oil and money.

Oil isn;t the only thing the ME has going for it.  Location location location.  That;s how turkey and isreal got loaded up with that sweet, sweet us arsenal.

11% is a big number in economy, you can picture what a city like New York would lose if 11% of the countrey's oil is gone. Moreover; you can count how many companies would close, yes America will not fall, but it will be damaged for a while.

Nothing would happen to new york. We have more oil..lol, we buy it from the middle east because they sell it cheap.  The umma really is powerless when it comes to the united states. Allah, it would seem..is with us.

Still; Saudies don't have the guts to commence such move, they don't even manufacture their own headscarfs. But anyways, oil is essential to the foreign policy of America that survives on the bloodsucking from other countries; no offense but the muscles of the marines directed Saddam Hussain to the rope when he didn't like the deal and wanted more.

Because it would hurt them, not us.  They need to sell it, we don;t need to buy it. I find that many people in the me's appraisal of the us is, essentially, stuck in the 70s. IDK if that;s due to old textbooks or new propaganda...but it;s a thing. I guess I wouldn;t really limit it to the me, either...the entire breadth of the formor ottoman empire has this current of thought in it - and I;ve put my boots on it from bosnia to bagdad.

I won't mention the centuries Ottomans spent ramming western & Russian armies in. Entering WW1 was a mistake and it came in a time the Ottoman Empire was "the old man of Europe"; defeating Ottomans wasn't an honor; it was a meant to happen. It was one of the weakest states in the world by that time; Russia didn't defeat the Ottomans of old.

When you're that weak, and so ignorant to the degree of banning typewriters because they are "haram"; then expect to be defeated by Russians in the North, and nomads in the south.

There's a phrase about every great empire being destroyed from the inside before it's conquered from the outside. They definitely weren't at their best. They;d fallen from their prior slave state greatness by the beginning of the 1800's. The ottomans of old were badasses..ofc, so was rome, and every other now defunct empire. Fuck man, the british used to be even bigger ballers than all of em. Those assholes conquered the entire world.
