My prediction for Saudi Arabia: efforts at reform will lead to coup or civil war bc they've spent too long empowering extremists

Not about military balance. Iranians are a competent culture. Saudi Arabia survives on imported workers who run everything.
-
They've been veering away from that with the current saudification movement of placing Saudis in positions of power to learn.
-
positions of power is one thing, but you gotta have NCOs and working-class. If every Filipino went home tomorrow...
-
They'll be replaced within weeks with Egyptians currently suffered dismal economy, Syrians escaping the war. And South East Asians galore
-
yeah, I remember Egyptians wound up doing a ton of work in Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War when all the Iraqi dudes were in the army
-
And right now our pound is 1/20 of a dollar so we'll do anything for money (especially the lower class that's being buried now)
-
I had never thought of Egyptians being basically the Mexicans of the Middle East, but you travel for work and everybody watches your TV
-
Yup we're Mexico if Mexico had Hollywood pretty much.
