Ha ha. Yeah, let's sort it out. Like all the other times we've "sorted" it out. It's gone so well, previously. Surely this time won't be a fuck up as colossal as the rest.
Unrelated, I have a wide variety of bridges in wondrous locals available for sell for very reasonable prices, and it would appear I've found a market whose pattern recognition capabilities matches my ideal customer profile. There may be just a little snark there, but seriously, wanting to screw this up again -- and let's be honest, time and time again we have demonstrated that is exactly what we will do -- is what amounts to the bloody definition of insanity. We're not doing a good job at this shit. We are apparently pathologically incapable of doing a good job at this shit.
Maybe we need to get someone else in on this. Probably a lot of someones. We've made it incredibly clear we're massively goddamn incompetent when it comes to doing anything beneficial in the middle east -- we've got several decades now of pretty consistently just fucking everything up. Let's recognize a sunk cost fallacy when we see it. 'Bout time we stiffed someone else with the problem and see if they can do any better. Considering how low the bar is there, it shouldn't be that hard to find someone able to show some improvement.
Hell, bonus points, the EU et al are actually getting screwed a bit over all this shit, too, now. They might actually be able to be convinced to get up and do something meaningful. Or we could end up doing what the rest of the world seems largely intent on and let it go to rot. At this point, I mostly expect that would actually improve the situation in the long run. And probably every other run, too.
