“The Brits left behind a shitty legacy of what exactly not to do in Iraq.”

Uh, please expand... was the spin-off done poorly? Or the colonial “occupation” done poorly? or...???

“Occupation done poorly”? You seem to have taken courses at some PC community college.

I was talking about “Partition”. Following the British example of breaking up a country would ensure perennial conflicts and bloodbath for generations to come. (Of course the Brit media spin doctors will always have you convinced otherwise).

Much of Western Europe after World War 2 was practically forced to give European colonies their independence.

The Partition of India was very violent, and as the Europeans did elsewhere in the world, their formation of new countries was made hastily, and didn't take much into consideration ethnicities and tribes in the countries (i.e. putting tribal enemies into one country or splitting an ethnicity among several states). Europe had many poor 'spin-offs' which are still causing conflicts today.
