“Its a good thing none of this is planned, otherwise the Middle East might become a real mess.”

More correctly - a “bigger mess”.

Then again, the Middle East has actually not needed the U.S., or excuses about the U.S. to make enough big messes on its own.

As for forcibly partitioning Iraq - in 2003 - into three separate countries, we (1) had no national will for the size of force that would take, (2) would have had zero support anywhere in or out of the Middle East for it, outside of possibly in the Kurdish region, (3) might have triggered Iran formally into war with us in Iraq, (4) might have triggered Russia supporting Iran - and sundry other possibilities.

But you keep dreaming up things “we should have done”, I’m sure you’ll hit one that might work someday.

Keeping supporting the Deep State, and all of their wonderful designs, and maybe someday we’ll get the police state that you and they probably desire.

As if any of their wonderful ideas have worked so well that are obviously the production of someone with an IQ of 5000.

As far as partitioning Iraq, that has been suggested by people other than me. The Sunni’s would have liked self-rule, the Kurds would have liked it.

Self-rule... that wonderful concept where people that have something in common get to rule over themselves.

As for Russia and Iran, that is a lot of “ifs”.
