Why does this country exist? It's like the British got

It's the best country in that region.

Saudi Arabia is going to be shithole once they run out of oil

If you think Saudis will ever run out of oil, you have no idea just how much the have. They reserves are for all intents and purposes infinite and will last several lifetimes.

As opposed to Jordan which is already a shithole

Yeah it's like they couldn't even survive without it.

Saudi Arabia may survive on the tourism brought to it by the Hajj. But I would love to see the kingdom come falling down.

Jordan used to own the west bank until the Palestinians tried to overthrow the monarchy. Palestinians are scum.

The Queen of Jordan is a Goddess.

No they're absolutely not, they're going to run out of profitable oil in a few decades, that's when shale oil and competitor's oil becomes more profitable than whatever they can stamp out of that desert over there.

I'm pretty sure the general shape of Italian Libya was carved out by the Ottomans a while earlier.

Pic related, the dark green is what was originally ceded from the Ottomans to Italy.

>>2520912
The white parts that were British considered part of Egypt or called British Libya

For the same reasons countries like lichtenstein, Monaco and Luxemburg exist: to give an old royal family some land to rule over.

The best country in the Middle East is undoubtedly UAE

>>2520522
Those borders look great. You're off your meds.

>>2520336
My mom is from Jordan and we visit every so often. Pretty comfy desu
btw hashemite caliphate coming

It should've been named as Palestine

>>2520978
From a technological point of view, many middle eastern countries are developed. I've lived in Saudi, and it's quite nice.

Of course you have cultural problems, which are extremely troublesome in fundamental countries like Saudi. Qatar, UAE etc are pretty good places. Jordan is nice as well. It;s places like Yemen, Syria, Lebanon etc where the problem is situated.

>>2520360
Contrary to popular belief, Saudis aren't stupid. They're already preparing for a time with no oil, despite plenty of reserves still being present. With the money they have, harnessing energy from those enormous deserts is not too difficult.

Hello ahmed

>>2520362
This post is funny because US gives aid to Jordan and actually uses troops to protect it directly, unlike Israel

Anyway US aid is 1% of Israelis GDP whereas it's 3% of Jordan's GDP

>any of these countries better than lebanon
Ebin sunni-jewish antishia propaganda, dude.

>>2521158
sand monkeys think they can go from oil to service/finance economy. no one out side that region of the world wants anything to do with them unless there is oil.

>>2520334
The Hashemite Kingdom is the true and rightful ruler of Mecca. Fuck the House of Saud.

>>2520460
how long do you think before their collapse?

>>2521278
could be as soon as the current monarch dies if he doesn't fix things with the succession that's set up

>>2521278
well right now the Sauds are selling oil at record lows to maintain market share and keep fracking, russia, and tar sands out of business.

to compensate they have raised taxes.

now of course this isn't viable for long. since they have been using their welfare state to keep the plebeians happy. they also have a rapidly growing population and are building new cities in their western region to house them all.
