- thetruthseeker1 11y agoNot sure why I got down voted for this! I hope I am not down voted just because people disagree with my view point? I thought the guidelines clearly said that you only down vote when I say something that does not add value to the discussion. If Saudi's borders were drawn by England, how did US make Saudi by that definition. I still stand my ground that there is some kind of a we(US and England) are better than you (Saudi Arabia ) tone here. Occidental Capital is a private enterprise it looks like, a private enterprise is not a nation. A private enterprise can relocate, it can shut down, it can spin off, it can undergo merger and a complete metamorphosis to a degree that it has no resemblance to the original company (unlike a nation). If occidental capital funded the initial setup of Saudi Aramco, it does not mean US nor UK did it!

- thetruthseeker1 11y agoI find the argument really odd. For eg: India's borders were drawn by the British in 1947. Is the British responsible for the staggering growth rate of India or any success attributed to India since. Same thing with Saudi: US or any other country did what they did, I am sure taking into account their interests. Since both India and Saudi Arabia are sovereign nations, it is their actions that have either propped them up or otherwise.
