U.S. technology and engineering conglomerate GE said on Saturday it had signed $15 billion of business deals with Saudi Arabia as part of the kingdom's drive to diversify its economy beyond oil.
It came as dozens of senior U.S. business executives met Saudi counterparts at a conference coinciding with the visit of President Donald Trump to Riyadh.
[...] Among the projects, GE will help make Saudi power generation more efficient and provide digital technology to the operations of oil firm Saudi Aramco, aiming to create $4 billion of annual productivity improvements at Aramco. It will cooperate in medical research and training.

Goatfuckers, unlike other types in the world, generally cannot innovate without outside help, with the lone exception of Pakistani scientist A.Q. Khan [wikipedia.org] who is the reason why North Korea has a nuke program in the first place. Note that Iranians and Israelis are not considered goat-fuckers. Hell, if it weren't for all the goatfuckers' oil, the goatfuckers would be sitting around all day, well, you know, fucking goats. And that's still their national pasttime in addition to barking at the moon and sticking their heads in the sand 5 times a day like confused ostriches.

I won't use Ethanol's nomenclature, but his sentiments seem somewhat accurate to the modern middle east. All of its positive world contributions occurred prior to its descent into religious rule. Its subsequent contributions have been very scarce ever since.
