Interesting, that is my title now? "Globalist"?
Nope, Nationalist.. I doubt you've heard all our arguments.. let me guess, 'The UAE has changed'? 'They are our friend'?
Nope.. did you know that DPI isn't really owned 100% by the UAE? Did you know that DPI's Board of Directors includes Americans, Brits, Norwegians, Indians, and only two UAE nationals? Did you know that financial firms such as Deutsch bank actually own up to 49% of DP World's holdings- including voting rights? Did you know that DP World is a conglomeration of two companies, DPA (Dubai Port Authority)- 100% owned by the UAE and DPI (Dubai Ports International) owned by international investors (mostly European allies).. most commentators are mischaracterizing DP World (the combined operating entity) as being owned by UAE simply by only looking at DPA's ownership structure, even though DPA only has operational control in the UAE and three other middle eastern countries??????
There is so much BS going around about this deal in the MSM it isn't even funny and it completely clouds anyone from thinking about the strategic interests behind the deal...
