It is amazing how the elites make shit up. Note the passive neglect of WHO did the creating at the end of WWI. The British laid rulers on the maps and drew lines on the maps without regard to natural ethnic and tribal cleavages. Straight lines drawn by rulers. The Turks fell apart and left the pieces to the Brits to really make a hash of. Even Colonel Lawrence knew this was absurd.
