the indian subcontinent
would have been fucked
the indian subcontinent could have been literally balkanized
into 32 different countries
but instead it got split into 3 at the end
The difference is India had a common oppressor and had more compatible ethnic groups.
In addition,
India DID split,
yeah
3
NOT 32 COUNTRIES
Based on ethnic and religious conflicts.
It's better to build upon a national identity for the Middle East
and that was what the secular muslim "puppet" leaders were trying to do
I heavily disagree on that.
It's already faired poorly.
If the Iranian Shah was still in power, we would have 1000 mia khalifa lookalike
Have you saw Persia back in the 1970s?
The tribes are all developing their own new national identities based on their tribal identities.
You can watch Youtube videos of old recordings
Again, Kurdistan, the Assyrians, and a number of others are good examples.
but what happens is that socialists get into the country
start larping around for muh equality
and all of a sudden a power gap exist
and the radical religious clergy takes over instead
So.
Which socialists did that to Saudi Arabia?
the neighboring socialists
made saudi arabia scared for their king
and start locking down hard
Errr. Right.
So the House of Saud,
Conquered Arabia,
But was secular despite its whole, you know, legal system.
But socialists in Iran made them turn into extremists.
That's your gist?
socialists in afghanistan
iraq
egypt
they were afraid of socialists in their own country
