I wonder could we do something like this with USA. Really get them going against each other. Split up all states from each other. And maybe even split the states themselves to be smaller. Then we could exploit the resources there and ship them to rest of the world.
It's a horrible idea that will cause untold death and suffering among the civilian population.
Well... the world doesn't need Iran to be anything or do anything. We need it to not be a lot of things though. I don't think we lose anything even if it goes completely to hell as long as it will no longer be a problem for others.
The only place which worked out somewhat like that is North Korea. I think the risk of chaos spreading from Iran is high.
