Thank you for the statistics. NO, I am NOT propping up any Autocratic regime, but also, am not blind to stupid acts either - an easy & common accusation, at the moment! If we consider countries such as China, Russia, and North Korea, they too would likely face accusations of similar crimes under comparable scrutiny. What is particularly striking, however, is that the nations most frequently targeted and ultimately devastated tend to be those rich in oil. While those actions are often justified on various grounds, the resulting collateral damage is significant and cannot be ignored . Even more concerning is the broader consequence: the suffering that such conflicts impose not only on the countries directly involved but on the entire world, as we are witnessing today. Going back in history, the Petro Dollar, the Carter Doctrine rings a bell.
