    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.

    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.

        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.

            Full political and economic support of the US’s invasion? Not even ruling out Canadian military involvement in the future? Oh sorry, “regrettable” full support. Like that makes it okay. As a Canadian, Canada’s response to this has been disgusting. And especially ironic for a country whose sovereignty the US is also threatening, but I’m sure if you help the leopard hunt other prey they won’t turn around and eat your face after.

              In what way is Canada supporting the invasion other than saying “you do you” so that we don’t have to deal with Trumps idiotic tariff war and petty threat bullshit again? What exactly has Canada done so far that has been disgusting? Like actual examples or articles, something.

                Canada and every other Western country should be raising hell over this and isolating the US for its unprovoked invasion of another country. Canada got so high and mighty about sanctioning Russia for Ukraine, what makes this different? God forbid you expect moral standards your country has been on a high horse about for the last several years to be equally applied to the West.

                  Buddy if things worked like that, we wouldn’t live in a shithole of a world. Wake up dude, putin has been invading ukraine for 4 years, there’s solid proof of thousands of pedos and likely nothing will happen to the majority of them, whistleblowers get disappeared. You think Carney is going to say “nah bruh that’s not chill” and Trump will respond with “aigh dawg, I see your point”?

    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.
