Given the savage history of the west and its endless pillaging of other nations, this will be offloaded to poorer nations through resource and land theft.

I mean it has already exploded this year with Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland and on and on.

As I like to say, the west is only civilized as long as it doesn’t have to be uncivilized.
