‘if we put together a table showing the countries with the highest wealth, russia would come in the first place, but the wealth of countries is not measured by the wealth they possess, but rather by the visions and ability their governments possess to create policies that encourage citizens to be creative, to create initiatives, and to reformulate the citizens’ desire.” providing the best for their families..!
when i was working at the bank, we avoided providing bank facilities and loans to those with huge wealth, except in exchange for guarantees equivalent to twice the loan amount. we usually resort to this option if it turns out that the loan applicant cannot prudently manage his money, despite his possession of great wealth.
at the same time, we used to provide loans to others, often without guarantees, knowing that they were fully aware of what they were doing, and had experience and expertise, even though they did not possess great wealth. he who possesses good management, or a distinguished government, is more important and lasting than he who possesses wealth but lacks it.
prudence, and we have many examples, in our countries and with others. russia, for example, is the richest in the world with its natural resources of oil, gas, coal, diamonds, platinum, gold, and silver, and yet it has never lived up to being in the ranks of western countries.

many have warned of the danger of the brotherhood. their goal goes beyond appointing a supporter here, establishing a charitable organization there, appointing a member to the council, and raising a few million for the global organization.
among these people was prince turki al-faisal, who warned, along with other senior saudi politicians, of the danger of the brotherhood and their ambitions to...
the late sheikh saud al-nasser, one of the knights of the battle to liberate kuwait, also played an important role in exposing their plans, when kuwait was bleeding and its people were dying with saddam’s shrapnel weapons.
they would meet him and make deals with him, and had it not been for the disagreements that broke out between them at that time, the situation would have been different; but no one listened to his warnings, and kuwait was almost lost during the events of the “corrupt” arab spring, had it not been for the wisdom of the late amir sabah al-ahmad. will we continue to bury our heads in the sand?
the prime minister did well by holding ministry meetings in the evening so that the ministers could devote themselves to the work of their ministries in the morning!
