    You know what recently came to my mind…

    Israel is basically a military outpost for the US in the middle east. it’s one large military base that is supposed to pressure arab countries into giving their oil to the US. It’s “either you sell your oil in US dollar (which we can conveniently print at will) or … you know, Israel is your neighbor, and they have a ton of arms”. It’s an extortion scheme.

    This is why Israel is threatened by renewable energy. Because if the world is not dependent on oil, then Israel has no reason to exist, as the US won’t give them a lot of weapons anymore to conduct their extortion scheme. And then Israel would collapse.

      Sitting politicians have described it as our biggest aircraft carrier.

      You’re really onto something here. What would Israel do if a country finally decided to take the plunge and go sustainable? Cyber attacks or blackmail, maybe?
