Yeah, but it was meaningfully stabilizing before we fucked it again.

No, it wasn't. What part are you even talking about?

Israel was at war with all of its neighbors 5 years before Kissinger. The clerics were poised to take power in Iran since the 60s. same thing with the baaths in Iraq.

  • Europe was in chaos for centuries up until the end of WW2. Since WW2 western powers have worked to keep the middle east in chaos.

A few thousand years of regular stabilization and destabilization would like a few words with you, lol
