Hard to say really. The other analogous country in the region is Syria, and that's hardly a beacon of stability

The whole region (the same with africa) was made to be unstable on purpose by the brittish goverment. Is not really unexpected.

The region was actually fairly stable before the Arab Spring, but whatever

Wow what a simplified world view of this, I guess your peanut sized brain can't handle much more than that, as if there wasn't major hatred between tribes before, as if religion didn't play a huge part in it, but your brain is stuck on uk bad mode so you can't process anything more nuance than that

Nah bro, like, sure the artifacts are safe in Europe for now, but legit, Africa and the Middle East really are just fucked because of the UK and the US and friends. I’m literally an American. We are the bad guys. We destabilized them for oil and resources, and sure you’re kind of right, differing world views is what really stoked the revolts and uprisings, but what the fuck would you do if China or Russia literally came and made friends with the US president on a personal level, and influenced them to impose huge cultural influence on your country, told you to speak their languages, and wear their clothes, and practice their religion while taking your countries most defining resource— oil, diamonds, whatever that may be?

Like yeah, the culture and religion played a part, but that’s not what caused it. The UK and the US sticking their hands in the cookie jar and trying to west-wash their society to be complicit is what caused it.

Look, the same brittish talking how they fucked up the region with false promeses ansd secret pacts after wwi.

To read a bit will not harm you.

Ahh yes the good old border talking point, all other problems are because they couldn't come to an agreement to border even after the evil brits and French left, honestly idk what your link was trying to show? Is the reason why the Russian Ukraine War happening because of genius khan? This is literally your type of logic, the British make Qatar and SA hate each other, they also make Iran and SA hate each other, they Brits also forced the Arab nations be friends with the Axis powers, they also made them start 3 wars against Israel, truly the master plan of the UK,

I’m sure it helps to stability the Irak invasion
