Saudi Arabia bought American Patriot junk missile crashed into city after being fired

[EpiiC]

Yeah..........US selling junk is old news now.

Since 911 event these Sawdi's have handed over well over 2 trillion to the US. And before this back in 1991 war, Kuwait handed over its trillion dollar sovereign fund too.....lol

All this while the populations in these defacto colonized gulf nations remain dumbed down and are worthless.

Your correct about gulf nations being least capable and 'dumbed' down.... Source for Saudi giving us $2Trillion? And source for Kuwait handing over $1Trillion sovereign fund?

MbS has a lot of money to spend in the next few years and it is quite right for businesses to try to get a slice of this pie. That’s what businessses are for. But let’s just be quite clear: MbS has a reform programme for Saudi Arabia. That reform programme includes ambitious economic change to create a modern, diverse industrial economy in Saudi Arabia. A modern, diverse industrial economy requires an educated, skilled and flexible workforce. Saudi Arabia does not have that workforce and cannot get it. The current generation of Saudis have had the wrong education, focused on Koranic learning and conformity. They are utterly incapable of being the doctors, engineers, architects, retailers, bankers, journalists, surveyors, restaurateurs, technicians, entrepreneurs and bankers that MbS’s dream of a reformed economy needs. They also lack the work ethic required. For those simple reasons, the reform programme is bound to fail. The failure will be protracted and at some points probably blood will be shed. That is a tragedy. Nobody can prevent it.


What distinguishes the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council – Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar – is that their workforces are mostly foreign. In most of them, foreigners are even a majority of the population: in the UAE and Qatar, they are almost 90%. The exceptional autonomy of the state thanks to the oil and gas rent has ensured these archaic systems endure, grafted onto modern state institutions and capitalist economies. The more concentrated power is, the more the state has been able to ignore a socioeconomic rationale in which the interests of a capitalist class or a layer of bureaucracy act as a constraint. The smaller the ruling elite is, while oil allows it to treat the state as its private property, the less it heeds structural constraints, and the greater is its freedom to manoeuvre. It can make sudden decisions that appear erratic and capricious. Large state machines change course slowly; but states in which power is highly concentrated can veer abruptly.

"A stable place to invest" ... poor legal institutions, a rule of law based in ancient religious ideals, no system of legal precedent, an abysmal accounting profession, an even worse pool of audit firms, corporations riddled with cronyism and nepotism. Don't even get me started on the bad stuff.

yeah its a sad day for all of us when we think about these gulf people. I read a few years back the sawdi's were offering RR cars as incentives to go and bomb helpless Yemeni's. What an utter disgrace this KSA has become.

One thing is for sure that they are not muslims.

I couldn't understand that despite spending billions or trillions of dollars on their (KSA+UAE) defence and getting all the goodies like EFTs, F-15, F-16 block 60 etc and these missile system etc, still they were trying to drag Pakistan into their war of terror against rag tag Houthis. On paper, KSA can alone take on Yemen and Iran but the reality is totally different.
BTW...do you know what kind of incentives they offered to their soldiers and pilots to go and fight the innocent Yemenis?

bro these guys are just helpless and not to mention hopeless.

Just google the arms purchases by the gulf countries since 911........all that money went to the US. All of it! Also all no bid infrastructure contracts go to US construction & oil & gas companies. Its a defacto colonization.

Kuwait had the largest sovereign fund prior to the 1991 invasion. The US played these idiots against each other and swallowed it. Have a read of webster tarplay articles on this.

Well, I'm not on fatwa committee and we have to cut down on declaring each other Kafirs or Infidels but whatever they are doing is hurting Muslims and the middle-east and helping the enemies of Islam. I always differentiate between the common Arab people and the western imposed & controlled regimes. If KSA had invested 10% of its income in education and science and technology, it would be the most advanced Muslim country..but the Arab have a strange mentality. They think buying an expensive car from the West or building some SkyScrappers is development....how pathetic..

True.......the US was doing the same thing in Iran with Reza Shah.......one way street money flowed west, for yonks! until we got rid of them. Before this the Anglo Iranian oil Co was pillaging Iran......same old game they playing in the gulf now. Defacto colonization.

we got rid of these bastards, but I seriously doubt the Gulfy's can. It's not easy.

Well, these illegitimate regimes fear this the most. The Arab Spring still gives them nightmares and that's why the wanted to destroy Al-Jazeera (which also is an instrument of the west...to keep them tamed and scared)

A sad incident. I hope no one is hurt .
There is a reason that despite having dozens of F-16, EFTs, F-15s with all the latest weapons in large number KSA and UAE asked Pakistan to participate in their aggression against Yemen.

Actually they cannot satisfy Arabian people to participate in mass killing of Yemenis on the ground, hence hiring some fighters. This is the ideal of people like our friend @MastanKhan , to build Pakistan, sell it to Saudis. He thinks that mass killing of Libyans, and Yemenis with Saudi and Emirati bombardment can make Pakistan a progressed country. Sauds are not fighting for Islam but expansion of American arms in the region. And anyone helps them is on the wrong side. USA has blockaded Yemen wit British and French naval fleets help, UAE KSA and a few other monarchs are bombing Yemen in daily and nightly basis, hired terrorists such as black waters are being airborne into Yemen, Al Qaeda and ISIS are being fed with American air drops, Sauds are using the tactical nuclear weapons lent from Israel against Yemenis, and I wonder what change is Paskiatn going to make? Yemen is alone but a nation of millions. Pakistan presence in this war was a grave mistake Bro, Allah's will cannot be stopped even if the whole world unites.

Uncle, what makes you think Pakistan is participating in Yemen war...I have told you time and again that Pakistan will never be a part of that.

Inshallah and hopefully. All Muslims regardless of their sect, have passion towards Pakistan, a liberated Islamic land. I hope this image wouldn't be destroyed by Americans and their feet soldiers.

Well, Pakistan would stay neutral or at least won't help KSA in Yemen or against any Muslim country. However Pakistan won't interfere into KSA's internal affairs either. We basically want to use our friendship with KSA and Iran to bring them together and solve all their issue through peaceful dialogue. We believe that sectarian angle used both by Iran and KSA will hurt Muslims so we need to avoid it.

I disagree with you. I know many Saudis who went to North American and Western Europe for higher education. Maybe in a generation things will change.

Also Saudi Arabia made a world class university called KAUST. The times are changing slowly.

Now women can drive in KSA in June I believe.

Things are improving slowly but surely.

Thats not enough just Women driving they need a skilled work force, who doesn't lack the work ethic....
As for KAUST...... Saudi nationals form the minority..... As of 2016, KAUST has 940 students in total[1] and 1200 alumni. The student population comes from over 60 nationalities from all continents, 69% of students are international and 31% are from Saudi Arabia
