This episode presents a critical view of the Persian Gulf states— Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar— highlighting their decision to offer $3 trillion in contracts and promises to Donald Trump, whom the author mockingly refers to as the "Sultan of the world."

It argues that this enormous sum, if strategically invested within the region, could have sparked a profound transformation in the Arab world, improving economic, social, and political conditions. Instead, the money flows outward, reinforcing a pattern of dependency on Western powers.

The narrative draws attention to the submissive role Gulf leaders play in this dynamic, comparing their behavior to that of governors under a global empire, much like the Ottoman Muqata'ah system.

Through a relatable example of a young Arab football fan paying more than his Western counterpart for the same content, the text exposes the subtle economic mechanisms that funnel wealth from the Arab world to the West.
