Yet SA is seen as one of the biggest financiers of Islamic terrorism in the world. So it looks like they spend their money on more than nightclubs and Lambos.

So you're saying it is impossible for Muslims to exploit immigration in order to flood into small first world countries with declining native birth rates and dominate via population growth?

I disagree. I find your cold war analogy to be out of touch with our current reality. We are in the information age. Annihilation via war between the US and Russia is not the reality we live in these days. This isn't the 60s or 70s where ppl in the 2 largest superpowers were paranoid, closed off and xenophobic (with hair triggers on the nuke button). Wars are fought via the economy and via influence in the world stage. Russia closing in will not guarantee another Cold War or a nuclear standoff. There are too many lines of communication/information for this to happen and there is no benefit to it for them to even hint at world war (a war that they know will have no winners) if they want their worldwide influence to grow. Unless, that is, the US instigates it to protect its position (but I doubt that, too). But the US is too powerful right now. It is never going to happen anytime soon unless something drastic happens.

I'm saying the realistic notion of Sharia law being something that's globally feasible even is somewhat laughable. Are you even allowed to take shit under Sharia law? It's a laughably untendable, unworkable philosophy, the Saudi rulers push it because they want to keep clerics on their side, you can't have them preaching to overthrow the main government now can you? 

Two countries that about "evenly" matched is not good, I just don't believe in human naure that much, sorry. We're idiots. Give us two sides that are somewhat evenly matched and the only thing that's going to happen is evenually we'll find a way to get into a fight. Cause we're morons. Honestly speaking most human beings are fucking stupid. The species is pushed forward largely by a few exceptional people popping up and working incredibly and the rest of civilization then benefits tremendously from that.

I don't see it the same way you do. The Saudis don't need to finance Islamic terrorism to keep the clerics happy.

I see humans differently as you. I see them being able to learn from their mistakes/history. Only the insane would annihilate themselves along with their enemies (kinda like what happens due to religious zealotry or North Korea). And right now we (the world) knows enough to not hold nuclear annihilation as a viabl option for settling fights that can be settled via economic/influential means.

Even in economics 101, we know monopolies are a bad thing. So how come you think it is ok in the geoplotical arena?
