That's really about all the content we're getting in this little sneer piece. Author Ishan Tharoor has offered nothing in the way of what even was done, much less what should have been. This is it - "it looks like Trump failed." Mighty deep analysis there.
If we get anything from this empty waste of words it's that the author would have been happier with a bloody intervention that failed even worse, the more horrible the better so that they can blame Trump for it. Tharoor is supposedly an expert in foreign relations. The limits of this "expertise" are showing pretty badly here.
The article is obviously a hit job.
