The US was wrong about Iraq having nukes, but they were close to the truth. In reality, they were pumping Saddam full of enriched uranium so that he’d mutate and grow to a titanic size.
I’m going to color the whole thing red and blue to reflect who should be the rightful owner of the Middle East- Liechtenstein!
You better watch what you say or Liechtenstein will send all three members of its Army after you.
The Liechtenstein-lords are probably able to finance several Wagners.
Liechtenstein also has no army since 1868, but a police of ~85 officers.
Monarchies have to be toppled by principle.
Wait, what are the rest of us missing? Is Liechtenstein actually a state or is that a joke? What’s going on?
It wasn’t with no regard. They were deliberately giving minorities power over majorities and splitting ethnic groups with borders to fuel conflicts.
Yeah, I think folks here are not giving them enough credit. It wasn’t just some random dude drawing lines for no reason.
The purpose of a lot of what Britain was doing was to prevent unification into a new Ottoman Empire successor. They intended the internal conflict in the region.
And it worked at keeping the Middle East busy and Europe safe for the most part (if you don’t count the incalculable death toll having them fighting amongst themselves has caused, and random terrorist attacks).
It’s done. That’s it. Just the whole thing. Let’s run with it.
