I hear during the 1979 Siege of Mecca's Grand Mosque, the extremely competent Saudi forces dropped grenades to target the rebels but ended up killing a multitude of hostages. It turned out that the Saudis were over-competent for the job and had to then contract French GIGN forces to finish the work. I can't imagine anybody even seizing the holiest of holy sites in the world, especially one guarded by the extremely competent Saudis.

my answer was related to ISIS and the post 2015 period. MBS really got in power around 2018 when that other Crown Prince was removed. he has effectively transitioned economy and military considering the limitations from prior centuries.
in 1970s Saudis were more in conflict with other powers and not developing itself. t

I dont know if it's govt or any other factors involved, hence that was my question. But i do know for a fact from multiple sources that alot of luxury brands are not performing as forecasted because they're underperforming in the 'Chinese' segment, overseas and local. My network ofcourse does not cover all the brands nor representative of majority of the global brands, but some of them are top tier global brands thjat 99% of the people here I'm sure have heard of. Perhaps my sample size is not representative of the entire industry, but it's a space to keep an eye on.

Edit: Did some google research:

One of the brands is mentioned in one of the links, so some validation to what i heard today and this is ongoing. TBH, didnt make sense importing all these with 10-20-30x mark ups.

Relentless and overt anti-China propaganda and hostility turning Chinese consumers off your brands?! Who wouldn’t have thought!

I said this in another thread so I will repeat it again.

As Aldous Huxley noted, Indians were already wewuzzing 100 years ago. What they would do is wait for some discovery or invention created by another country to come out. Then they will claim that this invention originally came from India by citing some vague thing in some ancient Scripture or whatever . So using the above example, king fu which first came from Shaolin (actually it came way before otherwise how did the warring states know how to fight so well), it is somehow Indian because some guy from apparently from India set up the Shaolin temple.of course if you ask why don't they have the specifics to produce it themselves over in India and show us how it should be done, they will dodge the question.

So you should ask these Indians, since ancient India invented everything, what stuff do they have there specifically stated that modern science cannot produce today?

I am getting tired of bashing Indians. But they really deserve it. Even those crazy black nationalists or neo nazis aren't as infuriating as the average Indian sometimes. Show some gratitude since you needed guys like the British to rediscover your history since you guys didn't do a proper job preserving it.

Why don’t these Europeans do as they suggested to the Chinese back during the 2009 Uighur riots and stabbings and let these extremists freely propagate to the youth of Germany?

mind you, if is hig coincidental that ISIS rears its ugly head whenever israel needs world attention away from its genocide, the way Israelis and Zionists try to direct American anger towards China and away from Israel.

I felt ISIS was CIA way back when....

It was just too obvious...

For years it was all about Al-CIA-Duh.... then 10 year anniversary of 9/11, SealsTeamSix caps so called Bin Laden

Next then you know ISIS is the new Buzzword, they plant stories like "john" beheading folks on front page of CNN for months, and USG retroactive talk about it as if ISIS had been a threat forever when in reality no one even heard of it until they made it up (as supported by the Google Trends at the time back when the data was honest)

Unity is better for 2d, for 3d Unreal is best, esp with 5.4+, its not just for gaming but for film, animation, archviz, VR, etc and even simulation and AI... Unitree itself leverages unreal for virtual worlds to train its robots with Reinforcement Learning inside of digital twins etc
