Following your spear-shaking tribalistic notions isn't going to save anyone.Oh, you're doing a damn fine job in assaulting countries, and helping other countries to faciliate their own demise by destabilizing them to the point of easy takeover.
Also, I read - a lot - and scientists from others countries do their best to keep contact with scientists all over the world in order to share in advances.
But go ahead. Convince your people that's the most prosperous way to go.
PS - when I talk about everyone working together, that doesn't mean subjagating everyone. But it's telling on you that this is what you keep harping on.
Besides, my "spear shaking" tribalism is in itself, a lot more honest, and a lot more possible than the humanist, unpractical mumbo jumbo ideology you have.
Quote:Also - the pseudo-democratic governments in those countries, as well as the out and out theocracies, make for shite trade possibilities...except as how corrupt religious leaders allow.Oh yes. Theocracies. Which ones are these? Saudi Arabia? It's full of the latest gadgets, medical services and whatever their oil money can provide.
UAE? Qatar? Dubai? They already live off the full benetifts of the oil, and are all pro-US countries, and "theocracies" as you call them.
But how about poor Iraq? It was a relatively stable country, until you blockaded them for all it's worth. They were also a quite secular nation. But it seems like the west does not look favorably on nations who talked of self-determination and independence.
How about poor Syria? Why do you hate Syria that you had to pull off a cheap maneuver called the "arab spring" on them too?
Corrupt religious leaders, sure. The only corrupt religious leaders are the ones that are working for America. It was so during the cold war, and it's still the same today.
