Chaos is the logical choice for a foreign policy and geopolitical strategy in the mid-east. It simply employs the political and cultural reality already in place. The “arab brothers” fundamentally distrust each other - hence the tribe-centric culture, and they hold a grudge. OMG do they hold a grudge. — Chaos is the inevitably toxic by product. Pursuing a doctrine of Chaos for the mid-east only means we are going with the flow. — There may be a case to be made that by dividing up the land and creating the post-Ottoman empire borders, we actually reduced the level of chaos. - What has followed with the Queen Bitch’s tenure as Sec. of State has arguably made the situation much worse.
“made the situation much worse”
Indeed, Much Worse.
Bad enough to generate global warfare. Nobody wins a war. The winners survive.
