re: #17 Dark_Falcon

I hate saying this, but Trump had a scintilla of a point on Iraq as a nation. Largely formed as lines on a map during Sykes-Picot, the the area has only been united by outside powers and larger empires.

Iraq was always going to fall apart. If Saddam died, or when we left.

Of course, Trump loses all points for not realizing that any successor states will need oil for the economy.
