They fly in planeloads of the cheapest people they can find and then dont let them leave until their time is up..and those plane tickets are probably the largest expense for all of them over the years that they are there..ive seen a planeload of poor rear end indians being flown out of kuwait city personally, i was on the flight, it was madness. Yes kuwait isn't qatar but all of those rich states do the same thing.

These are the same people who buy entire US shopping malls, massive interests in UK banks, and vast swaths of prime real estate all over the world. They're rich as gently caress because of oil, but for some of them, oil is now "their operation on the side" due to decades of shrewd investments and diversification. The closer they get to running out of oil, the richer they become because that means cheap, readily available oil is running out, and the price is increasing.

No similar to the Iraqi army it's just handy for keeping the local rebellious peasants in line, similar to what occurred in Bahrain during arab spring
