Suspected Looting of Oil from the Middle East

Below is a list of the top 6 Oil produced  countries from the Middle East .Exactly how much of this total is Looted is hard to say at the moment but nothing lasts forever . At the top of the list is Saudi Arabia committing suspected war crimes in Yemen with US and British weapons and logistical help all brought with funds from oil sales . The high level of executions in Saudi Arabia are a sign that they are a resource state where the happiness of the people are not important to the leaders who maintain their power from oil sales rather than tax paid by their subjects leading to a situation where they do not need to listen to their subjects and in fact they have not been listening to their women subjects for a long time .The Saudi Men's  situation is not much better  ( unless they join the military ) and they will be butchered up if they speak out for their oil . In other words the dictatorships in these middle eastern countries can only survive while they are selling their resources to foreign  buyers . The Arab Spring is an attempt to stop the looting happening from these countries . The protestors can successfully defeat a corrupt Government but the new Governments are immediately approached by oil companies with huge commissions/ bribes  to continue the looting hence the need for a ban on export of resources and a max. wage of 10 times the minimum wage.

Saudi Arabia: US$182.5 billion (16.1% of total crude oil exports) - estimate

Iraq: $91.7 billion (8.1%)

United Arab Emirates: $58.4 billion (5.2%)

Kuwait: $51.7 billion (4.6%)

Iran: $50.8 billion (4.5%)

Libya: $26.7 billion (2.4%)

The above figures are from 2018 and give a rough estimate on oil production .
