Overlaying this imposing device, electronic dams have been built at the borders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to discourage invasion or infiltration.
The Saudi electronic dam was built with the help of the French, Abu Dhabi, with the assistance of the Israeli firm AGT (Asia Global Technologies), whose contract of three billion dollars covers both the protection of borders and the protection of fifteen oil sites in the Arab Arab Arab Republic, as well as the supply of Drones, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and Israeli manufacture.
Poorly populated, surrounded by powerful neighbours such as Iran and Iraq, of recent and inexperienced creation in this field, petromonarchies have long entrusted their protection to a seasoned friendly countries, or, failing that, to private military companies, mercenaries of modern times.
The fabulous weapons contracts, which exceeded the absorption capacity of local servants, were generally seen as disguised insurance policies, due to the compelling commissions they generated.
The protection of Saudi airspace has long been entrusted to Pakistani airmen, the national territory of the Sultanate of Oman to the Bedouins of the Jordanian Arab Legion, with Western mercenaries taking over the rest, with a division of roles among the English, mainly present in their former zone of influence, including the Gulf oil emirates. The Americans have the upper hand over Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Middle East.
Abu Dhabi, protected by Western mercenaries
The protection of Sheikh Zayed Ben Sultan Al-Nahyane, the father of the present-day Amir of Abu Dhabi and former president of the Federation of the Gulf Emirates, as well as the supervision of the Omani troops in the repression of the Marxist guerrillas of the Dhofar in the years 1965-1970, have been the responsibility of « Watchguard », one of the two British mercenary companies, whose headquarters are in Guernsey.
Founded in 1967 by David Sterling, a former British Air Commandos (Special Air Services), it is an instrument of British diplomacy.
In addition to Blackwater, which was an unfortunate example in Iraq, the United States has two major private military companies: Vinell Corp, based in Fairfax, Virginia, and BDM International.
Both subsidiaries of the multinational Carlyle, they appear as the privileged armed arms of American politics in Arabia and the Gulf. corp, whose Saudi mission was attacked in Khobar in 1995, has the upper hand over the formation of the Saudi National Guard, while BDM manages the training of personnel of the Saudi Air Force, Navy and land forces.

« Politics of Fears »: Iran, a pretext to wipe out surplus Arab petrodollars
Thus by a subterfuge that American political scientists refer to as the « Politics of Fears », the policy of intimidation, which consists of presenting Iran as a croquemitan, Saudi Arabia and its petro-monarchic allies were forced to acquire, not a defence all azimuts, but a defensive posture against Iran, i.e. to strengthen the kingdom « face to Iran », power of the nuclear threshold, and not Israel, nuclear power of full exercise, moreover occupying power of Jerusalem, the 3rd high holy place of Islam.
Israel, the magical sesame
The reason for Western complacency with Abu Dhabi lies in the underground connivance between the Emirate and the Hebrew state. For example, Abu Dhabi, a pioneer in the field of felt normalization with Israel, entrusted the protection of its oil fields to an Israeli firm headed by former left-wing deputy Yossi Sarid.
The Israeli firm AGT built an electronic dam in the border area between the United Arab Emirates and the Sultanate of Oman to prevent hostile infiltration. The dam is, in fact, a « smart wall » that contains cameras that can record the facial features of those touching the wall.
Data immediately transferred to intelligence and police files capable of triggering a security force intervention. » « The project manager is AGT, led by Mati Kochavi, an Israeli based in the United States. »

More importantly, Abu Dhabi participated in air exercises with the Israeli Air Force in joint exercises in the United States and Greece, which even Egypt, despite signing a peace treaty with Israel, abstained from doing.
Epilogue
First truth: The Arab world owes Iran part of its culture and Islam part of its influence, whether it be the philosopher Al Fârâbî, the compiler of the words of the prophet, Al Boukhary, the linguist Sibawayh, the theorist of Sunnism Al Ghazali, the historians Tabari and Shahrastani, the mathematician Al Khawarizmi (Logarithms), and naturally the storyteller of the famous novel Kalila wa Doumna, Ibn al Muqaffah, as well as Avicenne (Ibn Sinna). Similarly, the expansion of Islam in Central Asia to the borders of China was possible without the passage through the Iranian platform.
2nd truth: The Arab world is indebted to Iran for a strategic shift that has had the effect of neutralizing somewhat the disastrous effects of the Arab defeat of June 1967, by replacing an ally regime of Israel, the Pahlevi dynasty, the best Muslim ally of the Hebrew state, with an Islamic regime, which has taken over the initial Arab position sealed by the Arab summit in Khartoum (August 1967) of the « Three NO » (no recognition, no normalization, no negotiation) with Israel.
He thus offered the Arab whole a strategic depth by freeing it from the Israeli-Iranian tenaille, which would lie in an alliance of setbacks, offsetting in the wake the removal of Egypt from the battlefield by virtue of its peace treaty with Israel. The Islamic Revolution in Iran was proclaimed on February 9, 1979, a month before the Washington Treaty between Israel and Egypt on March 25, 1979. In return, the Arabs, in an approach of rare ingratitude, will lead against Iran, already under embargo, a ten-year war, via Iraq, eliminating in passing the charismatic leader of the Lebanese Shi’ite community, Imam Moussa Sadr (Libya 1978), fighting at the same time the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, the main supplier of weapons of the countries of the battlefield against Israel.
3rd truth: The Arab world launched, beyond any measure, in a policy of military equipment, for half a century, paying rubies on nails of colossal sums for obsolete arsenals, for deliveries subordinated to draconian political and military conditions, while, at the same time, the United States graciously provided Israel with its most sophisticated weaponry.
The differential treatment between Arabs and Israelis.
As such, Israel received fifty-one (51) billion dollars in military subsidies from 1949 to 2000, most since 1974, more than any other country in the post-World War II period, according to a study by military affairs specialist Gabriel Kolko, published in the magazine Counter punch dated 30 March 2007.
On two occasions in the last quarter of a century, Arab countries have participated in far-off wars against their American ally, sometimes to the detriment of the long-term interests of the Arab world, alienating even a natural ally, Iran, a millennium neighbour, in the longest conventional war of the contemporary era, without benefiting from the consideration of their American sponsor.
At the height of Western power, at the height of their alliance with Iran, neither the United States nor France ever managed to have their legitimate Arab owner return the three islands of the Gulf, owned by Abu Dhabi: Abu Musa and the two Tomb islands, occupied by the Shah of Iran, in the decade 1970.
In view of the above, are the Emirates really a ‘balance between the European, African and Asian continents’? A balance point or a foot walk from NATO?
An instrument to enslave the Arab world to Israeli-Atlantic hegemony?
In this context, urging Hezbollah to give up its military arsenal in order to blend into Lebanese life as a political party, without squandering over the formidable Israeli nuclear arsenal, is, at least, an alarming naivety of blatant bad faith, in any case a manifest pro-Israeli bias.
May the kinglets of the Gulf, in this perspective, consider the dire fate of the Shah of Iran, the former super gendarme of the Gulf, to that of the former Zairian president Joseph Mobutu, forbidden to stay in France after having abunded the French political class with his briefcases and djembés or that of the Tunisian fugitive, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, forbidden to fly over French airspace, in his flight from his country after having served as « tour operator » to the French political caste media.
