GCC has a 6T dollar collective wealth fund. Saudis wealth fund alone is believed to be $1T+ Their vision for the future is to turn Saudi Arabia into a global financial center and tourism hub. They are directly threatened by the UAE.
They must have realized that American bases in GCC are only there to protect Israel. UAE hostility with Saudi and increasing alliance with India and Israel is also threatening them.
Saudi knows having American bases in the region have become a liability and no longer an asset.
Those bases will eventually be used to regime change Saudi and they know this.
So my question is, if you are Saudi and want those bases out of the Middle East, who do you outsource this project to?
