And what about human rights and who what if when oil runs out some extremists ideas will popup ? When things go bad the people will try to find someone to blame and there might be a risk that extremist ideas will grow.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoThe Middle East has always been like that, nothing new. The extremists already exist in Saudi Arabia, a lot of the human rights violations are simply authoritarian actions to suppress extremists. It has really been a mess, what good could the USA or Europe accomplish? Getting involved just means more mistakes, probably more bad than good as it is now.
- simion314 5y agoI am also against military or some other government interference with local politics, I am disgusted by politicians, companies and people that would use hman rights complaints selectively and close their eyes when there is a lot of money involved.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoSure. We as a country will always apply our military where are interests are at stake, there is no action taken just for human rights. It isn’t just the politicians, it’s the people who elect them that ultimately feel that way, the politicians are just acting this way so they don’t get unelected. On the bright side, acting in self interest means we shouldn’t get involved in any messes either, and supporting intrinsically unstable authoritarian governments doesn’t make much sense either. There is definitely some overlap between doing the right thing and dong the thing that serves your interests the most.
