It's not irrelevant. Without math we wouldn't have a modern society.

But if you insist that it's irrelevant than Arabs being desert nomads is irrelevant to modern geopolitics too.



Once again, my point flies right over your head.

> It's not irrelevant. Without math we wouldn't have a modern society.

Correct, but who made those discoveries has no relevance to modern geopolitical strategy.

I already stated how that fact is relevant, but you chose to ignore it. If the Arabs weren't desert nomads, they might be a credible threat to the US even without oil.

It seems that everyone here is taking offense at the fact that I called Arabs "desert nomads". The point I was trying to make is that without oil, the Arabs don't pose a threat to America.
