Saudi Arabia has ranked as the ninth most powerful country in the world according to a US study published by the Business Insider magazine on Saturday.

The US News and World Report placed the US at the top of the list, followed by Russia, China, Germany and Britain.

The rankings look at a country's political and financial influences, as well as its international and alliances, the strength of its military and how it acts as an international leader.

The rankings come as part of US News and World Report's "2019 Best Countries" ranking in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, which surveyed more than 20,000 people on their opinions of 80 countries.

The top ten countries also included France, Japan and South Korea and the United Arab Emirates taking the eleventh spot.

All Arab countries are strengthening themselves first on many levels, be it economically, socially, politically or militarily..which is for paramount importance in order to complement each other..

[Saddam Hussein]

NO THANK YOU. We need Pan-Pakistanism.

Doesn't even exists.

A unified Arab state would create a major power and easily deter Turkey and Iran both from their cancerous interference which they only manage after Syria and Iraq descended into US-led wars chaos. infact, if that happens it's time to grab lands and expand the Arab world which would be an easy task. There must be a renewed process of Arabization.
