Russia, USA, China are just willing tools in the of those Gulf countries! Imagine what crown prince did in Turkey, yet both Turkey and USA licked his ass! What happened in Syria is with support of Qatar, yet Russia still looking for a way to lick their ass proper! 2 Likes |

Its obvious the OP isn't well read. The Gulf States are the richest in terms of GDP. Their CITIZENS lack for nothing.. However the migrant workers(non citizens) obviously don't share in such largesse. They are there to do the work the citizens won't do. So anything like Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Plan etc..remove them.. Africa is your main focus.. The dark and barbaric continent. Talk about the shame of the continent.. Nigeria...with numerous raw materials and natural resources..bogged down by decades of corruption, nepotism and greed. Talk about her twin sister..DRC, that one has been raped by the Belgians, Chinese now she's speading her buttcheeks for Rwamda and Uganda.. easily the most richest country in terms raw materials..still crawling upandan in the forest.. looking for whom to carry her. Venezuela.. that's Nigeria's twin in South America..exact replica.. Corruption, insane greed..gosh. what a country . American CIA started the destruction, they continued it decades later . Libya, Le enfant terribe. Another basketcase African shithole. They had something going on. Military ruler/dictator.. Gaddafi.. he wasn't perfect but the county was stable and the economy prospered..maybe a little bit too much prosperity wasn't a good thing..this angered the powers that be..that an African country wants to be free of their shackles? We all know what happened next, the painful part was that the West may have orchestrated his removal but his own people pulled the trigger. Now they suffer for it ..years after his death..Libya is worse off.. Gaddafi's last words.."why are you people doing this"? Do you know what you're doing? Alas ..they did not know..now they know. 2 Likes |

The first two are wrong because those migrant workers aren't citizens and would never be in the future. Rather, they are well paid considering they earn more than what they do back home. If so, the British people working in the UK are also poorly paid because back home, they are paid less than in the Middle East. It's a skill issue not a wage problem. There are almost no income taxes in some of these Gulf States. The average Qatari, Emirati and Saudi Arabian lives a comfortable life comparable to those in the West or East Asia. |
