There was an article recently about how the West Asia war is quickly decarbonising South Asia. Lot of solar and wind projects in the pipeline for SA countries. Especially because now renewables are a national security issue

You mean the "US-Israel war of aggression against Iran"?

Let's not avoid assigning responsibility when it is so clear.

> West Asia war

Oh, snap, did Turkey attack Cyprus again? :-p

What West Asian war? Isn't Iran firmly in the Middle East by any reasonable definition?

West Asia is a less Eurocentric than “Orient” or “Middle East.” I like it.
LOL

"Asia" is a Greek name, fully Eurocentric.

The entire continent doesn't even make sense. Geographically, sure, culturally, absolutely not. It should either be Eurasia or probably about 5 different continents (South of Himalaya aka Indian subcontinent, North of Himalaya aka Siberia + Central Asia + China + South East Asia, South of Caucasus + Kopet Dag aka Middle East, etc).

The middle east is in Asia, no?
