2. Was it really just shortsightedness that produced this chaos?

Iraq had a refugee problem after we made that a failed state.
After destroying their infrastructures.

Jordan

Iraqis in Jordan are estimated to number between 200.000 and comprise approximately 4-5 per cent of the total population which puts a stress on their system

Syria

the number of displaced Iraqis in Syria remains well over 1,000,000 in 2010

Boy talk about a refugee problem already!



IRAQI REFUGEES IN JORDAN, LEBANON & SYRIA

So much for the Iraq war now to the new crisis created



Now we created two more clusterfucks one in Libya and the other one in Syria. .. These regime changes or attempted regime changes couldn't happen without western help and arms.

So now we have even more refugees fleeing this chaos

Now what did they think would happen especially since they have easier access to Europe? Where did they expect them to go? They had to know that the consequences of war would create even more people fleeing. The consequences is also weakening left wing governments of Europe and moving them to the right. They had to know this would be an outcome. any useful idiot should be able to see that.

Let me tell you the DOD plans and policies honchos look at long term soco/political implications in plans and policies and also rightwing US think tanks.

This isn't a conspiracy theory but observational truth for anyone following history going back to the Goths, Visigoths, and other European tribes seeking sanctuary within the protection of the Roman empire. Boy that turned out well but the Romans at least didn't create the chaos these people were fleeing from.

Why weaken Europe? Well it depends on who you want to weaken or strengthen in Europe.

NATO seems to be a winner in this as are the right wing parties.
Who else benefits? Well my list can go on.





This is not an oops....... didn't see that coming scenario.
