À propos de cet audio
Saudi Arabia is a monarchy with no rivers, no elections, and no exit plan. And yet — somehow — it runs the modern world.
The Mirage: How Saudi Arabia Built a Gas Station Empire is a sharp, unsettling deep-dive into how one royal family turned a desert into a kingdom, an oil company into a superpower, and a religious movement into a global firewall. This is not ancient history — it all started in the 20th century.
Through brutal conquest, British backing, American oil deals, and decades of carefully manufactured silence, the House of Saud built something that looks like a country… but behaves like a brand.
If you think this is just about oil, you’re not looking close enough.
