arab wealth is based entirely on oil exports
the middle east is a useless place we should get rid of it

Ask Norway.

They are rich cause they liberalized stuff in time unlike Ukraine so it's nice rich place.

UAE would be the richest. Dubai was already rich as a trading port/city before oil was discovered

Currently oil makes up around 5% of its revenue

It wouldn't be as rich as it is today because it would have to subsidise other parts of the UAE and some of its current non oil wealth is because of oil profit investment but still

this is an unfair and loaded question. Yes they made lot's of money from oil, but UAE has diversified it's economy somewhat. Some of them are definately a bit too reliant

also we have oil but we are retarded so..

Yes, there powerful manufacturing industry of high tech goods as well as powerful banks is where their wealth really comes from. You're just ignorant of their society.

no but then again why is russia so poor when they literally have the largest oil reserves in the world?

It's a mystery.

>>70429251
What matters more is oil reserves per head of population and how hard/costly your oil reserves are too extract

In the case of Venezuela theirs are much more costly to extract than places like Saudi Arabia so despite Venezuela having the largest reserves in the world and a similar population they don't have nearly the same revenue

>rich

Not necessarily, but they would be more stable and Islamic fundamentalism would be nowhere near what it is today

>>70429525
Ahh yes poor 3rd world countries are notoriously stable and secular

He got a point tho.
No resources would mean no one would mess with the region, plus necessity fuels creativity.

>>70429940
yes to this. when you don't live in comfort zone and everyday's a struggle, your mind automatically became creative and craft anything out of anything just to survive.

>>70430284
It's like poets. You must keep one half-hungry and torture everyday to produce a good poetry.

>>70429756
What I mean is that the Middle East is such a shithole full of Islamic extremism and war is because of oil. Whether it's themselves or foreign powers, the oil creates conflict. And conflict breeds extremism, which we see much of today

I think Singapore and Iran would be pretty much the only Islamic countries that could have a decent economy. All the arabs are lazy as fuck.

Even in Dubai you see the arabs themselves have no skills and aren't interesting in learning anything. And just outsource everything that needs to be done with money they collected from oil companies run by white people.

The closer it is to Africa the less chance it has to be a normal country

This shows in Arab poetry.
Arabic poetry of the jahiliyya era is extremely hard to understand if you don't have المعجم الوسيط by your side. Reflects the very harsh enviroment of Arabia.
Arabic Andalusian poetry while beautiful has easy expressions to understand and an Arab today would easily understand most of it. Reflects urban green enviroment of al-Andalus.

>>70428210
if you mean arab countries, no they are useless
