If this were true then the Middle East would be full of peaceful democracies.
But the reality in Europe's oil supplying countries is rather different. Come on, the whole Energiewende was full of wishful thinking. Nuclear power plants were going to be closed while there was no prospect on another energy source that could fill the gap. So gas was suddenly declared a 'sustainable' energy source, conveniently ignoring the CO2 emissions and the fact that gas is not renewable.
And now Germany is reopening coal power plants. How sustainable is that? |

Who said anything about democracies? Or that they are peaceful on the inside? They need to be stable and reliable trading partners and that usually works splendid when they get something out of it. In fact that works rather splendid for the countries that aren't on everyone's shit list. The really ugly truth is how much of the moral standards are conveniently forgotten when trading with authoritarian countries sporting despicable human rights records.
> Come on, the whole Energiewende was full of wishful thinking.
Such is the widely accepted view on the internet. And it is completely unimpeded by facts.
