Which gulf country will be the first to fall apart?
- Thread starter n1zen.
- Start date
Kuwait is the least developed of all the Gulf countries. Politicians there enjoy oil money, but there is no development of the country’s infrastructure, or tourism, literally nothing.
Probably either Kuwait or UAE, Kuwait heavily relies on oil but there's not much news of them going into other ventures and UAE I having a population crisis with the natives rapidly being the minority due to them constantly injecting themselves with more foreign workers and labourers I would personally want UAE to fall first and I pray for Kuwait that they get themselves out of their current situation.
Saudi.

Pathetic question.
Bahrain
Off topic but it's insane how Somalia has more oil then any country on that list except for Saudi
Doesn't matter we will earn pennis compared to what the gulf countries earn off of their oil
Honestly none will fall apart.
I think Kuwait will, unlike saudi qatar and the uae they don't really have any investments or plans for when the oil they have runs out
Bahrain for sho. They are running out of oil fast. Like within a decade or max two. There's also the shia sunni divide where the shia are discriminated against by the state. Shia make up 60% of the population yet are the poorest, they are not allowed to join the military(as in their application is thrown in a trash bin) and if they do hold the lowest ranks.Also majority of their Armed forces are made up of foreign mercenaries. Same with gov jobs. As for the private sector they're also discriminated against by their wealthier sunni rulers. The Al-Khalifa ruling family were so afraid of their shia subjects they resorted to giving citizenship to sunni Muslim Arab, Indian, pakistani and African migrants to reduce the shia population. (Rumors are they still do to this day but to a lesser extent and discreetly). This sparked the deadly 2011 Bahrain uprising that saw the Saudis outright invade Bahrain to save Al-Khalifa royal family
Iran has been funding and training shia rebels in Bahrain. I don't think the Saudis and other GCC countries will allow Bahrain to fall into Iran's hands. Bahrain will most likely be absorbed into neighboring gulf states once they run out of oil and the rentier state pact is no more.
