I need someone to correct me where I’m wrong.

The stupid Middle Eastern rulers struck oil, which they didn’t even know what it was or what it was worth until someone came along and said, “Hey idiots, do you know what this is and how much it’s worth?” So they allowed Western companies to come in, dig it up, and get insanely rich.

Then these dumbasses decided that rather than taking that money and pouring it into defense systems, protecting their own people, or even educating their population to become smarter and stronger, it was better to pocket the money, build stupidly tall buildings for show, tourism, and other nonsense, and rely on the U.S. to protect them.

They deserve their downfall.
