For context the Spectator is the British weekly magazine for the political right (relatively smart and definitely NOT far right) but that is important context for this article. As others are pointing out in various comments there seems to be a mix of facts, errors and potentially spurious causal links in the article. Though I think it is important to remember how good most of the world has things right now (wouldn't want to be in Syria at the moment or Gaza for the last 40 years) although we shouldn't be blind to the risks ahead.
