sure bieng over ambitious in politics is good but when its at cost of setting whole region on fire and disturbing the long term peace for your immidiate benefits which itself are dangerous and not easy to control by your own means its a recepy for disaster
Iran did it when it made proxies to control Sadies - Iraq -Jordan-Israel and lebnon and Egypt
Turkiye went in for direct apprach and ultra radical ISIS type proxies to control and recreate its lost so called Osmanian caliphet in Greece -Azerbaijan-Kurdistan-Iran-Iraq-Syria & Jordan & Egypt while keeping a complex two time relationship with Israel and USA on one hand and Russians on the other
and what is now boiling in Middle east and south Asia (Radical Islamic Militancy) is result of over ambition of these two supported by USA-USSR/Russian & USA Vs Chinese tussle for power in the region
and whole asia is going to pay for it .. and you doc are a Indian not a Irani or prssian so please
