Guerre che per lo più hanno un lungo strascico di sangue dopo la fine ufficiale dei conflitti: quando pastori, bambini e donne vengono dilaniati dalle tante mine antiuomo disseminate per le rotte della transumanza, o quando raccolgono strani oggetti lanciati dagli elicotteri sui loro villaggi.

From the covert operations that toppled Iran’s Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, to the ill-fated invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East has been marked by a recurring pattern of short-term victories at the cost of long-term stability. Yet, time and again, the United States has engaged in conflicts driven by a mixture of geopolitical ...
