I think if we weren’t so dependent on oil we probably wouldn’t have so many problems though.
Think of the countries that have a lot of oil that are run by psychopaths:
Russia
Saudi Arabia
Iran
Venezuela
People go around taking sides with some of these countries against other countries as if they’re not a bunch of psychos. Rationalizing why it’s ok for them to be psychos because of ideology or something that happened in the past or whatever. But they are psychos. Something about having that much concentrated wealth turns people into Harkonnens.

I feel like they’d be fighting with swords in that case
That area has been a warzone forever
Europe has also been a warzone forever.
There was at least the pax romanus
There were also eras of peace in the Middle East when empires had complete control. And a hell of a lot civil wars in Europe when Rome ran things.
Hey! The US has oil too, and one of our recent leaders is definitely a sociopath
