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

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.

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 Red Sea you say?

What if we both stop the war(s) and ration fuel?
