The strategic importance of Dubai cannot be underestimated… It’s a concentrated holding pen for 98% of the world’s fucking idiots.

Cattle perform alchemy. They convert grass (inedible to humans) into: - Meat, milk, butter, cheese - Tallow, leather, bone tools - Manure for fertilizer This transformation built civilizations. Humans can't eat grass. Grass grows on 70% of agricultural land. Without ruminants, that land is useless for food. The anti-cattle narrative ignores this. "Land used for cattle should grow crops!" 65% of cattle grazing land is marginal terrain unsuitable for crops. Too steep, rocky, dry, poor soil. You cannot grow soy on Scottish highlands. You can graze cattle. Cattle aren't competing with crops. They're utilizing land that can't grow crops. Historical civilizations that thrived all utilized ruminants: - Nomadic herders (Mongols, Bedouins) - Pastoral societies (Maasai, Plains Indians) All converted marginal land into nutrition. Modern policy wants to remove cattle, "rewild" land, import food from industrial agriculture. Less efficient, not more. Using cattle to convert grass to food on land that can't grow crops is optimal resource use. Leaving land idle while importing Amazon soy is environmental destruction. The grass-to-nutrition conversion is irreplaceable. Plant agriculture can't do this. Humans evolved eating ruminants that converted grass to meat. Not eating soybeans from cleared rainforest.
