Just because you are a tail that is occasionally wagging the dog, you are still a tail that cannot exist without the dog

Israel lives and dies by US power

Israel's strategic autonomy is an illusion

@majhli99 And you can forget about the high value segments of the value chain (established manufacturers keep these to themselves)... you can only dream of creating your own high value, which is a whole different sob story.

@majhli99 Even if China doesn't exist, the global modularization of the fragmentation of the value chains + the (comparatively) high wages for GCC nationals guarantees that each of the lower rungs of the manufacturing ladder would have to be PERMANENTLY subsidized).

@NabilAlnoor Why would graphene seed fund R&D based startups?

E.g., in this case, you obviously don't not have the capacity to independently assess the technology risk.

Is it just VC herd mentality? (Others we trust have invested, and so will we?)

[فيصل السالم @falsalem76]

@NabilAlnoor Contraception has a massive technology risk (can it be done with strict minimal side effects as required FDA?... even big pharma quit trying a decade ago) and apparently a high commercial risk too (will men accept a daily routine of application?)

@jaanamari777 @OmerGhazi2 Wait so Iran becoming Muslim, (and Iraq, Egypt, the Levant, and even Arabia itself, etc) is not simply Islamic Empirialism, it's genocide?

@redacohen6138 @AbdullahMashat How would morroco attract low-value fragments of the value chain otherwise?
