That my friend has always been the case, in reality they are an obnoxious, self serving, unlikeable shower, but seeing as the Camel jockeys sit on the bulk of the worlds natural oil & gas reserves which the rest of the world relies on ........
The West in particular will hold their collective noses, pucker up & kiss their wrinkly camel riding hoops regardless how distasteful, because,
(A) we need those "Cheap" resources.
(B) They're rolling in cash from the sales & will happily purchase Western luxury goods & military hardware they & all their oil haven't the nouse to produce.
In fact, I personally would class reason "A" as one of the most valid arguments for getting away from fossil fuels as expediently as possible. To see the abdullahs wallowing in all that oil & have nothing to show for it as they revert back to their tribal brutalizing of one another while the rest of us look on in smugness.
