Gulf Arabs are what we call "nigger rich". They have the largest oil reserves on the planet but they don't use the profit it generates to diversify the economy, instead they spend it all on expensive cars, cock-shaped skyscrapers and opulent theme parks. So yeah, once the oil runs out, they're back in poverty.

That's accurate though, when oil stops being relevant their lifestyle is dead. Saudis are already prepping for the shift while they still have money.

No. The United Arab Emirates literally make more money from Tourism, than they make from Oil. Saudi Arabia generates an absurd amount of income from Hajj and Umrah money, and that's only going to increase with the Global Muslim population growth. Literally all of the Gulf states have started building Nuclear reactors to lessen their dependence on Oil. not to mention Arabia has the greatest Solar energy potential in the world. That quote would have been true ten or twenty years ago, but today? The ''Gulf states will collapse once Oil runs out'' is just outdated nonsense.

Please don't use that.

The Gulf sheiks and emirs were literally ruling over some tents and camels in the desert before the Beady Anglo made them client states. Of course Bedouins had low IQs, it doesn't matter when most of the middle class running the country was imported and the elites are basically their own race (and muslim monarchs love marrying european models and nobility)
The modern Emirati and Qatari PISA scores are low but they still score higher than countries that supposedly have +10 to +20 IQ points over them. The UAE score in particular is better than you might expect from a country that materially went from SSA-tier to Singapore-tier overnight.

They don't even have run out of oil, the hippies in the west just to stop complaining and once the US achieved energy independence they might still have oil but there will be less demand and they'll get back to tribal states. Financial hubs exist along trade routes and with new aeronautical techs the gulf states don't need to be a resting stop, same as when South Africa lost popularity in favor of the Suez canal.

Not at all. They will tone down the Wahhabism, but actually removing Islam's role from society, and making it no longer the state Religion, is something that will never happen. All of their subjects will revolt against them if they do that. Muslims will never accept a Secular state ruling over Mecca and Medina. The two Holiest sites of Islam, it will be like the Vatican getting conquered by a non Christian state, if not even worse. The Muslims in Saudi Arabia would rather see Iran, a Persian Islamic state ruling over them, than see an Arab Secular state ruling over Mecca and Medina.

Literally the guy quoted in the OP

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashid_bin_Saeed_Al_Maktoum

Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum was responsible for the transformation of Dubai from a small cluster of settlements near the Dubai Creek to a modern port city and commercial hub.[3] His famous line, "My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I drive a Mercedes, my son drives a Land Rover, his son will drive a Land Rover, but his son will ride a camel",[4] reflected his concern that Dubai's oil, which was discovered in 1966 and which began production in 1969, would run out within a few generations. He therefore worked to develop the economy of Dubai so that it could survive after the end of oil production, and was a driving force behind a number of major infrastructure projects to promote Dubai as a regional hub for trade:
Port Rashid (opened in 1972)
Al Shindagha Tunnel (opened in 1975)
Jebel Ali Port (opened in 1979)
Dubai World Trade Centre (built in 1978)
The second major dredging and widening of the Dubai Creek (early 1970s)[5]
Dubai Drydocks (opened in 1983)

Are you pretending to be retarded or are you unaware of what entrepot and transshipping is?

I'll forgive you for not being aware that oil only accounts for 5% of Dubai's GDP, same as Singapore, or that Dubai is one of the top gold and diamond trading hubs (which accounted for 25% of its direct trade a decade ago):

The emirate’s diamond trade was virtually nonexistent at the beginning of the 2000s, but was worth nearly $35 billion in 2013 and 2014.[19] The emirate has been able to leverage off its geographical position between major supplies of mined diamonds in Africa, to the main cutting centres in India and further east in China.
Trade in gold grew during the 1940s due to Dubai's free trade policies that encouraged entrepreneurs from India and Iran to set up stores in the Dubai Gold Souk. According to estimates, approximately 10 tons of gold is present at any given time in the souk.
>>
>>2979183
More information:

Historically, Dubai and its twin across Dubai Creek, Deira (independent of Dubai City at that time), were important ports of call for Western manufacturers. Most of the new city's banking and financial centres were headquartered in the port area. Dubai maintained its importance as a trade route through the 1970s and 1980s. Dubai has a free trade in gold and, until the 1990s, was the hub of a "brisk smuggling trade"[33] of gold ingots to India, where gold import was restricted. Dubai's Jebel Ali port, constructed in the 1970s, has the largest man-made harbour in the world and was ranked seventh globally for the volume of container traffic it supports.[121] Dubai is also a hub for service industries such as information technology and finance, with industry-specific free zones throughout the city.

The Dubai Financial Market (DFM) was established in March 2000 as a secondary market for trading securities and bonds, both local and foreign. As of fourth quarter 2006, its trading volume stood at about 400 billion shares, worth $95 billion in total. The DFM had a market capitalisation of about $87 billion.[102] The other Dubai-based stock exchange is NASDAQ Dubai, which is the international stock exchange in the Middle East.
DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) was established in 2002. It's world's fastest growing free zone and been nominated as "Global Free Zone of the Year 2016" by The Financial Times fDi Magazine.
Dubai is also known as the City of Gold, because a major part of the economy is based on gold trades, with Dubai's total gold trading volumes in H1 2011 reaching 580 tonnes.

Tourism is an important part of the Dubai government's strategy to maintain the flow of foreign cash into the emirate. As of 2013, Dubai was the 7th most visited city of the world based on air traffic and the fastest growing, increasing by a 10.7% rate.[142] Dubai hosted 14.9 million overnight visitors in 2016.

Pretty much. It's what makes Trump's coal and oil pandering so laughable.

The money left those sectors for a reason. Not because of regulations but because it's cheaper, safer, and more cost effective to use other forms of energy. Natural gas killed coal.

>Please, They're in the same ballpark as the shittiest developed countries.

Depends on the definition of developed but okay.

Given that more than half of the students in UAE is of immigrant background ("While in Macao-China, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates more than half of the
student population had an immigrant background... - http://www.invalsi.it/invalsi/ri/pisainfocus/en/PIF-53.pdf"), the native score would be in the high 300 region, similar to other countries in the Middle East.

>Well yeah, that's what happens when you have an effective immigration policy and your natives lazy rentiers on glorified welfare.

More like they get somewhat average immigrants who completely outclass the native dumbfucks.

Letting third world poors in has always been America's thing. It's why you're fourth generation potato.

It's kind of hard to sell your things when you make yourself the most hated kid on the playground (aside from Mexico).

Besides memezuelan oil requires more refining than mid-east oil and the money they did make selling it was all given away to their bulls in Cuba and other friendly LATAM governments.

No it isn't.

>Turkey and Syria dont really have Oil and they did fine for the most part.

Syria got 25% of its GDP from oil, received tens of billions in stipends from the USSR and Russia, and was still poorer than most of Sub-Saharan Africa even before it imploded in a civil war. Its GDP per capita in 2011 was literally lower than Nigeria's and about a third of Jordan or Turkey's and less than a sixth's of Israel's.

Qatar openly funds Al-Nusra and sometimes ISIL while the Saudis prefer more 'mainstream' Jihadist groups.

>oil only accounts for 5% of Dubai's GDP
Not him but, to be fair, Dubai itself never had much in the way of oil money, so it's misleading to frame it like 5% is a result of a diversified economy. Dubai was built on loans from oil-rich Abu Dhabi, resulting in a sovereign debt of ~$60 billion.

I haven't lived there for a decade, but the problem facing the UAE (and most gulf countries) is employing its own citizens rather than importing 99% of public and private sector jobs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emiratisation

>poorer than Sub-Saharan Africa
Syrian GDP per capita in 2007 was close to $2,080. Meanwhile, Moldovan GDP per capita during that same year was $1,230. Ukraine's GDP per capita today is $2,115, which is in the same ballpark as pre-war Syria. Are you telling me that all of these countries are poorer than most of Sub-Saharan Africa? Remember that a plurality of Nigeria's wealth is not tangible to the general public, whereas in these communist hellholes even distribution is the norm.

It's really not very dangerous, just expensive and inflexible.

They have to. These are people with absolutely zero prospects in their lives, being either unemployed or stuck in dead end positions, having failed to obtain any semblance of post-secondary education, and more often than not, being extremely unsuccessful in seeking romance.

Add all these up, and you have these sad, pathetic men who spend all their time reading about history, looking at the success of their parent and family before them, and throwing their anger and rage outwards rather than acknowledging their own faults.

For these white kids, it's easy to buy into racist schlock that tells them that they're inherently superior regardless of whether or not they've ever done anything to be proud of. If they don't believe that they have this inherent superiority, then, well, they would have no choice but to go back to /r9k/ and wallow in self pity, because they're well past the point of trying to salvage their lives.

Middle east is one of the most inbred places in the world and inbreeding leads to low IQ.

Why are you so butthurt Abdul? Your people are dumb as rocks, any development beyond Bedouin tents is owed to western engineers, your best and brightest can only hope to come here to work for the NHS for bellow market value.

Kid, I'm not even Arab. And while you might get a brief moment of ecstasy shitposting about how your English heritage makes you capable of greater things than other people, look at your life.

What have you done with your "Superior genes"? Do you work in a hospital? Do you go to school? Do you do anything worthwhile with your time, or are you just lazing around, living off whatever remaining shreds of goodwill and love your parents are willing to give you?
