Nope, the countries in the Middle East are built because people live there and they needed governance.
What's your point? Saudis didn't come from Russia to "yoink" a country, they are people who lived in Saudi Arabia for ages.

Ok... that doesn't change the fact that they're built on a religious and ethnic basis. Also most of the Middle East was literally colonized by the Saudis. Why do you think the whole region speaks Arabic? You literally could not have picked a worst country or region to make that point about. It would be like if you said France was imperialism and used Britain as an example of an anti-imperialist country lmao

To save you the 5 minutes it would've taken you to make any reasonable statement:
Arabic is actually not Saudi Arabian, more Levantine/Mesopotamian, but hold up... Didn't Romans rule that area during Islam's start?
Yes, Arabs were conquered by the Roman Empire (Look Nabateans) and the Islamic Conquest in that region was basically the reclaiming of those lands, any further conquest actually doesn't come from Saudi Arabia, it comes from non-Arab dynasties.
