You mention resources we 'exploit' but who else could? World trade is underpinned by profit, that's been the way for a thousand years. These countries could always kick the European firms out (and would if they could do the job themselves).
Yes, it is true that nobody else has the technical means to utilise the resources. But if they are not utilised fairly, there will be bad consequences. In other words, taking advantage of superiority is immoral; I have mentioned that in the previous post.
As for the world trade being underpinned by profit - this is one of the things that will lead to the downfall of this civilisation. If profit is put first systematically - and it is, despite all the (often ill-conceived) tendencies that try to correct this deviation - then the ultimate end is a catastrophe - an environmental, humanitarian, moral, political, cultural one... it will destroy everything.
One of the main reasons why nobody wants to deal with this is that it is generally accepted that profit-seeking is inherently in human nature. And to eradicate ruthless profit-seeking (I am not talking about reasonable, proportionate profit - actually a fair remuneration for one's work of a banker, artisan, teacher, etc.) would mean to change people within. And no person, no politician, no religious leader can do that.
And that's why people cling to various views that are skewed and out of touch with the actual reality - because they do not like to face the fact that within their realm of thinking there is no solution to the current situation in Europe and in the world.
For example, the view I gathered from your posts is so confrontational IMO that it would lead to a really hard conflict between the inflow of immigrants and the original population; it would most probably escalate into a global war (not in the traditional sense, not between countries and nations but actually between people, to put it in simplified terms) and Europe would witness horrors that have been non-existent here for quite a long time.
But on the other hands, if Europe lets the immigrants in indiscriminately, I think it might amount to "importing hell", once again put in simplified terms.
So the only moral solution IMO is to screen the immigrants, not to let in war criminals, etc. But that is technically impossible due to the huge numbers that have already arrived and that will yet come.
So it's simple! There is no global systemic solution... Karma and history will simply run its course... But of course, as always, the actions of an individual matter...
And now I want a VWM's prize for all the posts I typed today

, but reality does not work that way. Simple.
