I think two trillion dollars in contracts is an exaggeration. The implication that they buy 2 trillion in debt is wrong, as is, to my knowledge, the presence of a presence of the Government of Israel in the UAE. Exaggerations don't help make either case.

I did not not make such a implication . I said they brought US debt. You said tw trillin in debt. You implied that to support your thought. I said two trillion in contracts, and that they do. One construction project is over a trillion alone. The man made islands off UAE. Some of those contracts are as long as 10-50 years. The total of all UAE citizens are only 860 thousand. Only 20% work They are all wealthy. Almost the total contruction and operation of UAE is mostly contracted to other business in other countries. US businesss has many of the largest contracts but not all. In all 500 American companies have contracts in the UAE.
