White people be like “I emailed Saddam Hussein after 9/11 to see if we could work things out between him and America”
Saddam Hussein emails a random American citizen, Christopher Love of Pennsylvania, who tried to contact Hussein earlier this month, to express his personal condolences for the September 11 attacks.
“Dear brother in the family of mankind,” the email reads in part, “I am presenting my condolences to you. God has created us, and to God we return. May you have a long life.”
Authoritarianism sounds great when you imagine a competent technocrat like Lee Kuan Yew running the country, not so much when you remember the same system can leave you stuck with a Gaddafi or a Mobutu for decades with virtually no way to get rid of him lmao
Tbf what options does Egypt even have here? I mean when your economy basically lives off Gulf depositis, investments and remittances.
deploying a few air defence systems and military personnel to help intercept incoming missiles and drones seems like a pretty fair deal ngl

It just goes to show how little human capital matters when ur economy and institutions can’t put it to productive use.
We can produce the world’s highest shares of science and engineering graduates and still struggle to get the basics of a functioning 21st century country right
#Tunisia ranked 1st worldwide for the proportion of science and engineering graduates among higher education graduates, at 37.93%, ahead of #Uzbekistan 2nd (36.76%) and the #UAE (36.45%), according to the @WIPO Global Innovation Index. #TAP_En
Genuinely never understood this logic. You’d rather have Pakistan’s ability to produce its own tanks and jets than Singapore living standards?
What’s the point of manufacturing your own weapons if the tradeoff is a much poorer population and significantly worse quality of life?
Europe’s industrial capacity means little if Africa can establish air superiority.
You can churn out all the tanks and ammo you want but modern jets and precision strikes could cripple your factories and supply lines before that industrial advantage even comes into play lmao
Ok so a truce with the Houthis while they still hold Mokha and have leverage over Bab el Mandeb is obv off the table.
Containment might’ve been enough for Saudi before, but if the Houthis keep expanding their leverage, how long until saudi decides to go all in on Yemen?
Yemen’s Houthis struck Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport on Saturday, directly hitting Terminal 3, causing injuries and forcing its evacuation.
Saudi officials are increasingly concerned that continued attacks could damage the economy, disrupt tourism and business travel, and strain limited missile interceptor supplies.

Almost double the money spent on fuel subsidies than on investment in a shithole still lacking basic infrastructure.
And this is only the first half of the year. Higher oil prices will push the full year bill to 11 billion 😂
