But that's what the MIC wants. And you guys say there is no deep state. sheesh.
Since said "division," if left to the natives, would consist of each of about 150 factions vowing to wipe all the others off the map, the West stepped in and tried to find equitable solutions, which involved compromise...meaning that no side gets everything it wants. But to the medieval macho-man Arab cultures, compromising is weakness and fanaticism is a virtue. So the conflicts will continue until the end of human civilization.
I'm just curious, though. Do you blame the "deep state" when your french fries are soggy?
