How MBZ leveraged a global scandal and a regional war to trade 55 years of stability for absolute control and why the "Switzerland of the Desert" is now being swallowed by the sands.
Always seemt odd that the Australian Govt sent our Wedgetail surveillance plane and 85 crew to the UAE early after the USrael attack on Iran. We were told it was because as an ally they requested it for their defence. Majority of Australians are anti- war, anti- genocide, anti- Trump, anti- Netanyahu and loathe our govt participating in anyway. Tired of following US like a puppy into every booyah chest beating forever war. Your article gives the context, the history and information about the UAE that I had no idea about. Thank you for that. Seems like rocky times ahead. The beginning of the collapse of UAE into individual states?
First of all, thank you for reading my article and your input.
Second I don't think UAE will collapse tomorrow. However, it will be interesting what will happen with MBZ because his future is largely tied to Netanyahu
Thank you for this cultural-historically insightful post! You explained what's up with UAE in a way I finally 'get it', and the odd relationship with Netanyahu. I suspect I'm not the only American who wasn't taught about Gulf State countries. Never having been there is a handicap.... I've spent time in the West Bank and had quite the shock...how our government was so pro-Netanyahu that the story of Palestinians was overlooked and mis-told.
Glad to have found you via Wajeeh! I'm loving this schooling! Much gratitude, Mitra 🙏
