#1 I have always been surprised that the UAE did not workout a seconding deal with the UK about the Gurkhas in the 1980s or 90s, when the Brits reduced the number of Gurkha units. A British-officered Gurkha Battalion or two would really stiffen and improve the UAE's own military, and reduce the threat of outsiders trying to intervene.
