Our "special relationship" with Saudi Arabia couldnt possibly have anything to do with our complete dependence on oil could it?
We throw up our hands in horror when others attack our way of life and when the likes of May states that there is absolutely no excuse for the recent actions of terrorists she is unable/unwilling to see that we, the West, are seen as the agressors that provoke such retaliation. She was trying to imply that Corbyn was in some sort of sympathy with terrorist action because of our past disastrous involvements in others affairs.
It is fundamentally wrong for any individual/nation to impose his/their will on another but this is the crux of the matter. (One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter etc etc).
The real problem as I see it is economic in that the developed countries in the western world will go to any lengths to ensure the flow of oil. Simultaneously, the poorer nations want their share of the cake but that would mean the rich cutting back which few will accept.
How do you get people to agree to share the planets resources as fairly as possible when we operate on fear & greed?
