I didn’t used to understand foreign involvement in wars, like the whole America-Vietnam shenanigans. But I can see why after watching this Israeli Palestine Conflict since birth.

But now it’s like watching two children fighting over who’s sandcastles can be built in the sandbox. And what do we do if children can’t learn to share? You take away everything and no one is happy.

So is that what this is going to come to? Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?

    A while ago I watched a video from RealLifeLore covering this topic and the TLDR is that poorly drawn borders by the British and the French separating religious groups and ethnicities will all but guarantee constant conflicts and instability in the region

      The region was defined by constant conflict and instability before Britain and France were even a twinkle in a Celtic eye.

        While the bright and “civilized” Europeans were in the dark ages, the Middle East took our science and continued it, saving it from disappearing entirely.

        You can believe in the barbarian narrative about them if that makes you feel better about your national history, but it’s entirely untrue.
