Maybe this is why black and blame rhyme with each other.

Were the Middle East and Asian countries not colonised?

Thanks so much for calling us out rightly.
Japan was a recipient of two nukes from the US, they didn't just sit and start blaming the "west" for their woes.

You make it sound as if democracy is the only thing that govern humans. Saudi ain't democratic, yet they're flourishing. Turkey in NATO ain't democratic either, yet flourishing. And speaking of democracy, do you know Russia have senate, parliaments etc that checkmates their president's power and decision? Putin cannot order anything without approval from their senate but of course, y'all are too zombified by the US that Russia is an autocratic country but hey, youre entitled to what you believe and I'm not here to convince you otherwise.
The fact that you said Turkey is flourishing is everything to know that you are dead brain as they come, lol.
Foreign AffairsRe: Saudi Arabia Sells Oil To Kenya In Kenyan Shillings Instead Of US Dollar by shegzhkn: 1:07pm On Apr 03, 2023
God1000:
you are right, Saudi Arabia and other authoritarian regimes don't like Biden and his foreign policy approach, but the rest of the western world is okay with Biden.


The same way Donald trump embraced authoritarian leaders and destroyed US relations with several allies, he even threatened to pull US out of NATO alliance.
During trump administration even Canada the US very reliable partner and neighbor had to prepare for plan B. Trump became the subject of gossip by our strongest allies (Trudeau, Macron and Boris) and he also wanna make Angela Merkel throw up.
But they knew he was Temporary, they were docking hoping America will elect a new president and now he wants to run again - big boost for the democrat.
Foreign AffairsRe: Saudi Arabia Sells Oil To Kenya In Kenyan Shillings Instead Of US Dollar by shegzhkn: 12:53pm On Apr 03, 2023
God1000:
yeah, I think trouble started when the Biden administration released the classified document which contains the killing of Saudi journalist Ahmad Khashoggi in Turkey, it exposed the crowne prince involvement.
It even goes way beyond the release of classified info about Jamal K. Killing.
Trump always support MBS, when he wanted to blockade Qatar he was not opposed to it and accuse Qatar of supporting extremist group until advisors told him that Qatar is housing the biggest US base in the Middle east and also a strategic partner.
After the Disappearance of Jamal Khassogi trump saved MBS and make effort to downplay the whole thing.
Looking at who trump is tyrant will have to like him and he envys them too but to small d democrat (I hope you know what that means) he is a disaster & also the Democratic party have always been the party that preaches human right and makes it a foreign policy priority, authoritarian don't like stuff like that and finally Biden has said on the campaign trail he is gonna make Saudi a pariah, c'mon.

While it is true that the US economy is supported by large corporations like Apple, Alphabet, CVS, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing, this argument does not fully counter the potential impact of the Saudis choosing to no longer peg their oil to the US dollar. The US economy may indeed be enormous, but it is still vulnerable to sudden shifts in global markets and economic relationships.

Furthermore, while the US and Saudi Arabia do have a strong relationship based on oil and security arrangements, this does not guarantee that the Saudis will always choose to use the US dollar. If they were to switch to another currency or commodity, it could have a significant impact on the value of the dollar and the stability of the US economy.

Finally, while it is true that Saudi Arabia's petrodollars do flow back into the US economy through various channels, this does not necessarily mean that the US is immune to the consequences of a shift away from the dollar. In fact, it could make the US even more vulnerable if it becomes too reliant on Saudi investment and trade.

In short, while the US economy may be strong, it is not invulnerable to sudden shifts in global economic relationships. The potential consequences of a shift away from the US dollar as the global reserve currency should not be underestimated.
I am not discounting the consequences of that shift, but folks make it look like a total disaster and of course the US economy is huge but not immune to economy dislocation - for example the war in Ukraine led the western world to abandon Russia oil so as not to fund the war but what happened the price of oil went up and also the price of everyday household items - egg, milk, cheese & energy price.
And also the oil for security arrangements is simple - keep the oil flowing and sell in USD since Saudi is the largest oil exporter and the leader of the opec cartel and we will protect the Al Saud dynasty, that is the fundamental of the relationship. Now once in a while the Saudi tries to weaponise the oil to have some kind of leverage while negotiating (that is the only thing they've got) but they know what rupturing that relationship means.
US does depend on Saudi investment much but it is notable to say they are the biggest buyer of our Weapon (Raytheon, LM, NG and Boeing biggest customer) and we will like to keep things that way not that they have any choice anyways (they are addicted to our hardware and it will be hard for 'em to start integrating Russia or china equipment into their defense installation)

Nothing, that Chinese and Indians are not producing, maybe sanctions on Nigeria will be good, that Nigerians can now start doing things our own.

Russia and Iran have been hit with all sanctions yet they are still
have everything because almost everything in the world right are been produced in China and India.
Indians pharmaceutical industries already replaced EU companies that left Russia, that even now so EU companies are already back in Russia working without announcing it.

Don’t iPhone leave Russia market yet Russians are still using it because China is the real deal.
I fear Chinese government sanctions on Nigeria than any country.
Even same USA can’t survive without China
Delusional.

o
Dollar is a global reserve because the Saudis peg the dollar to the global crude market. Meaning Saudis only accept the dollar in exchange to crude oil. They can announced that they no longer accept the dollar any day & opt for gold instead, Chinese yuan, or whatever other than the dollar. American economy will crash hard as buyers will dump the dollar for whatever Saudi is accepting to get crude oil. Do more research about this, Google is there for you.
Lol, still stuck in the 70s.
You may be partly true but the USD is also backed by our enormous economy - we have the biggest country in the world : Apple, Alphabet, CVS, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing.
And it seems you are forgetting something - the basis for our relationship with the Saudi is oil for security arrangements (you should know that) and don't think for once they can decide one night to start buy inferior military hardware from other world powers because that is literally impossible because of interoperability probs.
Now I admit it is very hard to place a sanction on them without us feeling the heat because most of those petrodollars always find it way back to our economy - Saudi student scholarship, weapon sales, trade and services, etc.

- Nigerians are some of the smartest and equally most evil person you could meet around the world...one minute you can meet someone who has built great businesses abroad (from scratch) and the next minute meet someone who will willingly defraud someone out of their life saving (to the point that they will commit suicide) in a heartbeat!
- Nigerians can LITERALLY be found in every country of the globe.
- many inexperienced people really do believe that the minute you go abroad, you will start making millions miraculously.
- so many people do believe there are more life/work opportunities in the US/UK/Canada for Nigerians, but i beg to differ....
- although some are ready to kill to leave Nigeria, some are equally ready to kill to go back to Nigeria on holiday pretending they have made it in the west
- people today still go back to the village in Nigeria to find a wife to bring to the west, thinking that this woman ISNT GONNA CHANGE INTO A WESTERN WOMAN (the minute she reaches the west), lol! if you want a village woman, then keep that woman in the village o.
- some people have bought houses etc in the west by cleaning dishes and toilets. not all these menial jobs are as bad as people thing...
About the wife thingy, get this - people don't change they are revealed.
And if you are actually enlightened there won't be much culture shock or whatever.
