Wow what does Oman have going on over there?
Petrodollars. :)
Nowhere as much as Qatar or Saudi Arabia, yet they aren’t on the list. UAE should be higher up than Oman too but it isn’t.
Perhaps what helps Oman are other things besides oil and gas revenues. Perhaps their lush greenery and ancient frankincense trees.
As I understand it they are exceptionally stable and have been building themselves up since the colonial period. The sultan of Oman didnt live in Zanzibar for nothin'.
No more stable than any other Gulf countries. But they aren’t involved in any proxy wars and always maintained friendly relations with everyone including Iran.
No way, you're there.
I remember sth about german students from US colleges having to head back over Visa struggles when Trump was in power
He's complaining that people don't want to leave countries with socialized health care and more protections for workers? Maybe he is coming to the wrong conclusions about that.
Paying 420€ per month at most for comprehensive healthcare and 49€ per month for regional/urban public transportation nationwide is really a chore.
And additionally, I even have to live with the burden of getting my master's degree almost for free! It's horrible over here! I can barely enjoy my 30 vacation days thinking about the situation!
Sure, but how many dozens of guns can you buy immediately with just a simple background check missing tons of information?
Barely any. It's a shame.
What about the white peoples of the Middle East and North Africa?
Oh wait, you banned them, even if they were Christians.
