Maybe BlueStreak:
It's just the scale of things. Like the phrase 'Balkanizing' pertaining (primarily) to the break-up of Yugoslavia. Yeah Tito was a monster, but when you "federate" all of those ethnic areas under one flag, it's like neutralizing the PH. No potential chemical explosion. Got nothing to do with the potential bully factor until you cut all those areas loose to self-govern. Maybe Zeke can make the argument that all that American Indian inter-tribal warring could have been indefinately put on ice once the British/French arrived -- if the governators weren't fighting each other!
Remember when Biden wanted to divide Iraq into 3 pieces? From the history lesson we're discussing here, I think we can predict THAT outcome as well.
BTW: Can't read your avatar at any scaling. But I assume it shows how the poor Palis are losing more and more claim to land as the clock ticks. You gotta remember that British Palestine included all of current Jordan and small bits of Syria. 80% of that British Mandate went to "Palestinian" Arabs.. Specifically to EXCLUDE Jews and Zionists from any entry or citizen rights in THAT part of Palestine which became Jordan. Leaving the Jews to beg for scraps of the 20% or so that was left West of the Jordan River.
