Unlike India, it’s a hardcore capitalist economy which can adapt quickly to changing circumstances. We’ve been hearing doomsday scenarios since the last 20 years. The rulers aren’t stupid. They have their pulse on future technologies and are investing in many.

That’s true. But the last few generations have been oil welfare queens used to very easy non-jobs.

By the time their oil dries out our water would be gone. I think people underestimate Arabs, just because Ottomans cut them to size doesn’t mean they are a nobody, Ottomans broke Greeks even badly but we don’t call them names.

People make up BS about some no-name ports having been historically prominent or silk route having passed through some obscure goat path in Gilgit but do not acknowledge the prominence of Arabian traders and ports which will endure forever. Also, in Petra, Ancient Egypt, Yemen, Babylon etc we see clear evidence of Arabic creativity. I think UAE has a bright future, I am waiting them to become enlightened, soft and PC and give citizenship to foreigners, then it would be check-mate, complete Indianization.

I dont remember it mentioning UAEs sovereign wealth fund but other than that this article gives a counter to your points

Once battery technology takes off these fools will be left in the dust again and the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent will be the reminding them of their true station.
