Many big/great nations... Usually, people are deemed to be "one people" via their language or history.
So for example,
During the Edo period, Japan was warring with itself. People of one language fighting with each other. Eventually, someone came out on top and "unified" Japan.
Happened in China as well. Romance of the 3 kingdoms, blah blah blah, eventually an Emperor emerged.
Napoleon unified France and the French speaking regions around the area.
Germany also unified all the German speaking regions.
Italy, and Spain also have a similar history.
India, Thailand, etc...
Throughout history, we see smaller nations, fight with each other then eventually unite, especially if they share a similar language and/or history.
Except for... the middle east area...
I'm sure that if allowed to, maybe decades ago, they would probably have duked it out with maybe 1 big unified nation.
Now, it would be hard to do so with so many other countries having a say in these things.
In my own opinion... the US will never allow them to be unified.
Can you imagine, a unified middle east? With significant control of the world's oil taps?
How powerful would that be?
Not a chance. The meddling US wouldn't allow that.
They'll probably be funding both sides of the war to ensure that the war keeps going for as long as possible.
Real? Or just Trump talking c0ck as usual?
Or a slip from his daily "security briefings"?
Control does not necessarily mean ownership.
Could just mean, the US has a hand in how the oil supplies flow.
For me, I believe that the US has a hand in the meddlings and instability in the middle east for decades, and they would want to keep that area "un-unified" for as long as possible. So that global oil supplies aren't controlled by a single big and powerful nation.
