Every nation needs resources, and the powers of both friend and foe control, or try to control those resources for that power's benefit. The problem is everyone does that, and we are also at the same time inner connected.
Oil is the biggest example of global greed hurting our planet. Russia's wealth an power tries to control their oil. Saudi Arabia owns oil companies too. China invests in oil too. So argue ideology till your blue in the face, it does not matter short term who has the upper hand if we destroy our planet by ignoring the damage we are doing by focusing on short term profit.
Economic ideology is argued on all sides in all directions. But regardless of which one one may argue, humans still live on one planet and an economic view still does not exist in a vacuum or in isolation.
Humans are tribal, and we always have been, and we always have formed groups and competed against other groups for resources. But right now currently with the threat of global warming, pollution, poverty GLOBALLY, the world cannot afford to ignore this. The days of conquest are over. The world is too small now, to inner connected to allow 62 billionaires worldwide to sit on half the world's wealth when they could be using it to solve issues of global warming, pollution, poverty and worker stability.
Nice polemic.
