I believe that development has some thing to do with the nation-state
Most of these countries have democratic institutions excep few cases like north koria wich has an ideology just like iran
Despite kemal ataturk being a jewish descendent and having relations with freemason, he was a nationalist figure who resisted the allied occupation of constantinople
The allied powers were against his nationalist movement and were supporting the idea of a reactionary turkey that's ruled by a dependent sultan just like the arab world
Today, turkey has strong institutions and a stable govt to some point
Its against israel and most of the EU countries such as france
Turkey has better economy than some of the EU countries
If we come to the reactionary arab world, though having the money of the world they r unable to establish some scientific institutions
Can you believe that saudi arabias defence budget is $50bn, the third in the world after the US and china!!
Its all about securing the regime than developing democratic and stable institutions that could save this country if any change takes place in the future
All the money of this country is spent on the amirs!
A lot of people were killed in egypt for the sake of democracy until they found themselves between sectarianism and dictatorship!
Where is the national alternative?
Back to the topic, I do believe in racial superiority bc arabs are submissive people forget about the unprodectiveafricans!
Atleast the asian nations r kinda independent
You got china, japan, north kuria and the asian tigers
Israel/jewish state has adopted the westren concepts so it doesn't belong to the east
Despite what you think of it, iran has a national state and uses the shia ideology for persian expansion
While the iranian constitution doesn't allow a non persian person to to lead its institutions, iraq is controlled by the iranian religious men such as al sisani!
This is how iran wants to control every arabic country that has shia population!
Its the reason why the regime has a wide support inside iran specially after announcing its nuclear program
