was the kingdom of saudi arabia a mistake?
>>217704256yes
>>217704256no (i don't want to lose my iqamah)
>>217704463good, it was to test you
>>217704256There was no credible alternative to a tribal king for the administration of what at the time was a desert sparsely inhabited by illiterate tribes whose only useful resource was pilgrimage financing. I don't see how the Al Rashid or any other clan claiming the region would have resulted in a substantially different state.
>>217704500yes this is what i personally believe but i was surprised by how many on the original xitter post saying otherwise
>>217704256They have cornered the femboy/twink market so yes.
>>217704532Probably low IQ westerners lamenting that there wasn't an inclusive democracy established by local intelligentsia while not understanding that anyone remotely educated to that level was living in other parts of the Ottoman state by the time of its breakup
>>217704256I have absolutely no clue about saudi arabia's history
