Btw, the second there's a viable alternative to fossil fuel and we can tell the saudi royal family to gently caress themselves I'm starting a safari business in saudi arabia.

We fly in, shoot anyone that looks like they belongs to the house of Saud, steal something gaudy like a gold plated ferrari or some poo poo, we fly out while blasting some kickass heavy metal. I'm sure I can hire a few veterans to fly the choppers and maintain the equipment so I will most likely also get some sort of tax deductible from the government too.

10% discount for anyone who would have been an oppressed minority (women, jews, atheists, homosexuals...) in Saudi Arabia, call now and you might get to be the door gunner (first 1000 rounds free).

a quick googling tells me you're wrong. a lot of countries have a lot of food imports but they are able to be sufficient if they choose to be. others can't but would be able to buy their way out in a pickle (e.g. the U.K.). But the ME and North Africa? hosed.

they lack the cultural wherewithal to build an economy that would enable them to buy food without reliance on oil money and they live in a desert.

Modern food production is entirely dependent on oil energy and oil-energy-derived fertilizers

Same with modern medicine

if we escape the clutches of oil and energy becomes cheap enough (I don't see any reason why this won't happen), then we can mass produce all the hydrocarbons we need for this type of stuff. also crop rotation goes a long way towards allieviating the need to replenish topsoil with fertilizers.
