@ForeignAffairs There are several important things that need to be clarified.
1️⃣ Saudi monarchy is absolutely not a totalitarian, but rather more flexible than long-standing democracies, especially with regard to responding to the local, regional and global variables.
1️⃣ Saudi monarchy is absolutely not a totalitarian, but rather more flexible than long-standing democracies, especially with regard to responding to the local, regional and global variables.
@ForeignAffairs 2️⃣ If Western elites have sincerity about pluralism, then they should respect the cultures and premises of others and not try to impose western cultural patterns, because that would be more expensive than anything else, otherwise they represent other versions of the dictatorship.
@ForeignAffairs 3️⃣ Western elites should stop imposing western patterns that related to human rights, freedoms, and the nature of political regimes, in what may be called Fake Superiority or even racial superiority.
@ForeignAffairs 4️⃣ The nature of the political regime and local laws of any nation stems from its heritage, concepts, and moral values, any attempt to impose different patterns causes fueling local and regional high risks.
@ForeignAffairs 5️⃣ Decades of trying to impose democracies in the Middle East have produced distorted democratic versions that have caused disasters because people do not believe in democracy, even though it was imposed more than 50 years ago on most countries of the region.
@ForeignAffairs 6️⃣ Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Libya represent the greatest miserable and disastrous results of imposing democracy, as these countries have turned into failure. The West must stop using the Middle East as a testing ground that sows tensions, wars and hotbeds of terrorism.
@ForeignAffairs 7️⃣ In the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, citizens enjoy services that are not available in many western countries, such as free education with allowance, free health care, free taxes, and modern infrastructure. Rather, they can have all services online without democracy.
@ForeignAffairs 8️⃣ This simple logical view does not appear in the presentation of all Western elites because of the dominance of superiority over the Western mind, culture and conscience.
@ForeignAffairs 9️⃣ One of the main causes of sectarian, ethnic, and religious conflicts in the Middle East is the western interventions. The ME could have overcome many obstacles & achieved sustainable development had it not been for the West's insistence on catastrophic parental intervention.
@ForeignAffairs 🔟 Although the West practices different types of democracy and respect for pluralism at the national level, it tends to dictatorship and extortion regard to other peoples. The least that can be described is hypocrisy.
