I can't think how it doesn't ultimately lead to broadscale instability and ultimately, war. In turn it depresses me that this is toxic to the humanity progressing and solving its bigger picture problems.

Years of advocating against bullies, my takeaway from this thread is “the US did this because it can”. So bullying is ok now I guess.
I’m sure it had nothing to do with oil too, just about democracy.

Thats all of human history.
Our biggest problem is us, the Earth will be a much better place when we are gone.
No imagination is necessary: we've been there. The 1800s were exactly that and culminated in two world wars on the next century.
