    Oh fuuuuuck off. People are being slaughtered in hones and schools and this, THIS is what the “experts” are warning of? The West deserves it and has exactly zero right to complain, and I say that as a Westerner so I’m including myself that assertion.

      The west

      Not like Spain is causing this. This is Israel and the US.

        Spain still supports the Western empire by being in it and benefiting from the exploitation of the periphery. The EU alone has done plenty to support the atrocities in the Middle East, and Spain has, at the very least, witnessed all of that (if not actively participated) and still sees fit to stay in the EU.

          So it is not Britain, France, the US, the Soviet Union that destabilized the Middle East. It is the EU, that without an army, a common foreign policy and a common mandate that caused it.

          And Spain obviously, those evil apathetic monsters.

      It’s material analysis of the motivations of the proletariat. Yes this is what experts are warning about, consequences to the war makers for starting war. Everyone on this site is reading both the grizzly details of the warcrimes AND the economic impacts which overall effect their lives.

      Hey, Westerner, you DO have a right to complain, and you SHOULD, about ALL OF IT. And NEVER STOP. And you DON’T deserve it, you didn’t do anything. Which part of the west is responsible for this fuckup, and is there a chance that one or more people in this nebuluous West thing don’t deserve it because they didn’t want it? Complain about the human cost and the money making your life harder too. I beg you to bitch. You’re not a murderer, you’re in the murderer’s dungeon.

    It would be a bit interesting if what causes the rapid green transition is naked US imperialism and war. Rather depressing of course but interesting

    The really dumb thing about all this is there is a perfectly good waterway on the west coast of Arabia called the Red Sea but with all the trillions made by the Kingdom, they never thought to invest in a second pipeline.

    Instead, Princes bought their 25th Lamborghinis.

      the us empire has a track record of smacking down their puppet governments in the gulf region whenever they try to invest in their country’s infrastructure like this because the empire fears that it might make them more independent of its control.

      they’re only allowed to develop in a way that benefits the us empire and it’s gotten to such a bizarre extreme that the leaders of the people in the region have an expression for it:

      My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I drive a Mercedes, my son drives a Land Rover, his son will drive a Land Rover, but his son will ride a camel.

      The topography is non conductive. There was a pipeline that went to Sidon though.

    Who would have thought that relying on an energy source that is mainly being produced in countries that are at risk of war is going to cause problems in the long run?

    The world has had enough time to decentralize energy production (as in… solar, wind, heck, even coal).

    What has been done? Nothing.
