"Did we sell Stalin our US ports during WWII?" No, and we haven't sold our ports to the UAE now. The fact that you guys continue to perpepuate these exaggerations illustrates my point exactly.
The UAE does not even allow foreigners to own businesses in their country, outside a small "free trade zone", that is.
Check out the UAE govt. website. Since I refuse to join, I got the info from a business information site BELOW: (do your own research if you dont believe me)
"In this type of ownership, 51% of the company will be owned by a UAE national and the other 49% you may own, with the business being situated anywhere in the UAE.
There are seven categories of business organisation that can be established, which are - general partnership company, partnership-en-commendam, joint venture company, public shareholding company, private shareholding company, limited liability company and share partnership company. General partnership companies are limited only to UAE nationals, while the establishment of partnership-en-commendam and share partnership companies are not presently encouraged."
