عربستان؛ قلکی که کار نمی‌کند

"Saudi Arabia is a piggy bank." That single line explains more than most strategy papers. 300–400 modern jets bought from the US and Europe — and at the peak of regional tension, they couldn't even locate the drones, let alone intercept them. This isn't a hardware problem. It's a decision-making problem. I've traveled there. I've dealt with them in Washington DC. I spent years inside a system funded directly by Saudi money. My conclusion: it doesn't function. Not because the people are bad — because the structure and the thinking are broken. For a long time, Riyadh wasn't a strategic asset to Washington. It was a headache with a checkbook. As the Middle East slides back toward tribal-war logic, oil money cannot substitute for institutions. What do you think — can cash ever replace state capacity?
