Everyone one of them is despised.
An interesting feature of many Western countries in the NATO alliance is the leader’s use of the phrase “Build Back Better.” The World Economic Forum coined this phrase and, in summer 2020, decided to tell the world what it really meant. It is about “reinventing capitalism” through the use of environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) scores on businesses and individuals.
These scores will drive investment in green technologies primarily made in China and starve the West of cheap, reliable energy. Residents of the U.K. and Germany are already feeling the effects of this strategy with increasing energy poverty. The United States is also seeing rising energy prices as the Biden administration places crippling restrictions on oil and natural gas production.
The world is also noticing how bad energy policy impacts security, as Germany increases reliance on Russian oil and gas, pressuring NATO allies to greenlight the NORD 2 pipeline. NORD 2 bypasses Ukraine. Russian petroleum pipelines currently flow through Ukraine, limiting Putin’s ability to expand his invasion beyond Crimea. By bypassing the country, Putin will remove the threat of potential disruption in oil transportation as a limiting factor.
Modi is not, he is targeted by the elites just like Trump was. Their next election should be interesting.
