    That’s not the point I’m getting at, or, I believe, what MBS was getting at.

    He complained about criticism towards Saudi Arabia and Qatar, he complains about western cultures, and is pointing to Middle Eastern countries beginning to take over or become massive sponsors to sporting institutions. He’s trying to paint a picture of the ME actually being the ones in charge/will be in the future.

    He’s made multiple weird indirect comments like this.

      He is a capitalist, and what he is describing is simply how capitalism works. The states on the Arabian peninsula are capitalist-authoritarian regimes and they will be the ones in charge. There is no denying in that if they continue this path.

        And I’m allowed to complain about his weird xenophobic superiority complex.
