How Syria's 'Valley of Death' became one of the largest landfills in the country | Risky Business

Why does that so often seem to be the case in these scenarios? I can't help but wonder if it's more a result of these situations, or actually the cause. At least in part, anyway.

Much of poorer non-western countries (Australia being counted as western) can be viewed as colonies with distributed ownership by transnational corporations. Take my home country of Russia, for example. The west in general and EU in particular supported the regime of Putin up until 2 years ago, which included nice business deals where they bought what was stolen from Russians and a supply of weapons "for internal use only", so that the business can keep flowing. Now Russians who had no say in this are blamed and taken of the list of humans possessing any rights (many of the sanctions against simple Russians within the EU clearly violate ECHR).
