I actually deep a deep dive into the “end times” and found out that it’s NOT even biblical!

It’s a concept that the Roman church created so they could keep their power and control.

Yet, so many modern day Christian’s think it’s from God and it’s going to happen.

The "Roman church" wrote -- or I should say, constructed -- the Christian Bible, too.

Global climate catastrophe may, indeed, bring the end times for humanity. The Earth will survive but billions of humans may not.

Israel and Palestine are pawns in the wars for control of access to the petroleum and gas fields of the entire Middle East. The continued extraction and burning of fossil fuels will accelerate climate catastrophe. That may also be part of the Zionists’ plan.

YES! Unfortunately, due to extreme levels of propaganda and narratives, most people don't realize this.

At the end of the day, for the U.S. Empire it's about control (and monopoly) of resources and maintenance of U.S. Dollar hegemony. I would extend your statement to include ALL MENA countries as pawns on the geopolitical chessboard.

How true. Libya, Syria, Iraq, Gaza gas fields (yet to be developed), Iran, on the table, eyeing off Venezuela (1000 years of reserves...USA, only 8 years) and on it goes.

Nonsense. Saddam would have been delighted to sell all the hydrocarbons he could pump freely for dollars on world markets. The United States did not allow him to do so. For that matter, Iran also would like to be able to do this.

Note that the world is awash in cheap resources.

Saddam did offer/threaten to do that. The US oil magnates feared that would drive down oil prices and their profits.

Russia has also threatened to do the same.

Nevertheless, continued extraction and burning of fossil fuels, and/or their conversion into plastics threaten the prolonged existence of humans and other life forms.

The so-called "oil for food" program was put in place precisely to keep Iraq from being able to sell oil freely on world markets.

For that matter, Russia also is selling oil, albeit not so freely. Russia wishes it could do so.

As to climate change and its impact- that is all beside the point.

Some zealots believe that they can accelerate the coming of Armageddon, End of Days and the Rapture by destroying the environment.

I have never heard of such, but that all is irrelevant to the oil for food program and the like.
