"This Foreign Affairs piece gets the facts fairly right and the frame totally wrong. It falsely presents the Saudi-UAE rift as a rivalry between two countries fighting over the same economic and strategic space.

The UAE built its model around flow namely controlling and expanding the infrastructure through which capital goods data and talent move. Saudi Arabia on the other hand is building around mass owning production at scale leveraging market size and using gravitational"

What you call "rebellion" is the fleet staying seaworthy. The uncomfortable part: the Kingdom itself practices the behavior you pathologize.

"Dear Ali @aliShihabi Explaining Gulf divergence as "ego" is like saying Apple and Samsung compete because of hurt feelings. It mistakes strategy for psychology. Saudi Arabia is the anchor of the Gulf but anchors only work if the ship is functional. The UAE Qatar Kuwait and Oman provide agility a massive state cannot always manage. What you call "rebellion" is the fleet staying seaworthy. The uncomfortable part: the Kingdom itself practices the behavior you pathologize. When relations with Washington hit lows Riyadh deepened ties with Beijing. That was not "ego." It was strategic hedging. Why"
