I don’t think people understand the gravity of the situation linked to the strikes on oil depots in Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Arab states, and beyond. This is a picture of Moscow now, as Kyiv yesterday, as Tehran before, as many Arab states the day before. Covered in thick black toxic clouds of smoke, raining oil on millions of people with cancerous polluted air entering every lung. People breathing this. Animals breathing this. Trees breathing this. A humanitarian and environmental catastrophe. Bombing oil depots and oil infrastructures has serious environmental and humanitarian consequences. Hazardous «black rain» and «acidic rain» could pose serious health risks as toxic pollutants spread in the air, and contaminated the water—raise concerns of «wider regional pollution exposure», with the long-term effects of pollutants, affect respiratory health and contaminate water, that will affect people for years. Every bomb dropped on an oil depots is a time bomb for the people and the planet. This has moved beyond geopolitics. It’s a crime against humanity. We have reached a point where merely criticizing one side of a conflict for violating international law exposes us to targeting by the other—and vice versa! It is as if the killing of human beings, the destruction of nations, and destroying of the planet have become normalized and commonplace, or as if the guiding principle of humanity has become «an eye for an eye.» Such a mindset and the hate speech directed against any nation have no place in our modern world. If you believe this’s an act of advocacy, you are mistaken; one must condemn violations of international law and human rights, even if committed by one’s own country or party. This is the true meaning of the rule of law applying to everyone, and it is how we achieve peace and prosperity for everyone, everywhere.
