historically speaking, (latest would be 1992) Have the Western Powers been strategically keeping the middle east unstable? or is it just that the middle east sucks at uniting and modernizing?

(((Western Powers)))
>>2716508
Both.
>>2716508
nearly every problem in the middle east traces back to how the Entente Forces drew the map after dismantling the ottoman empire.
>>2716819
Which can bring you back to >>2716511 and the Jews, since the partitioning of the Ottoman emprie was done that way on their behalf and the plans for it were even older than WW1 and the Balfour declaration. People love to blame the UK or the USA for the situation but even if America vanished tomorrow the Jews would find another puppet empire to work in their interests.
>>2716809
Not quite like that.
They want to unite and modernize but can't. So long as they can't, the factions that don't want to unite and modernize dominate politics.
>>2716845
They don't have to unite. And modernization went quite well for countries like Iraq until they were fucked over by the (((international community))).
