As mentioned in previous posts, the Gulf States showed too much potential at the wrong time lol.
It would make Lawrence of Arabia proud.
Very simple theory: the West, European Union, and countries with different ideologies could not afford to let the Gulf States rise into the next Ottoman Empire.
They are geographically blessed with oil and strategic location, something much of the West/EU does not have.
The events of the past few months may set Gulf progress back decades and force more dependence on the West/EU, while weakening the sectarian dominance that has been one of their main lifelines....
