The wests geo political screw ups didnt end with Iraq and Afgahnistan, supporting the Arab Spring & the ousting of gaddafi also had a negative impact.
E.g The European migrant crisis was a consequence of the Syrian war + supporting the revolt against gaddafi. With him gone, the loss of stability in Lybia gave the traffickers free reign. The migrant crises (plus the progressive 'heart before brain' knee jerk reaction to it) in turn fuelled much of than Anti EU sentiment accross the continent and was key in the 'Leave' result of the UKs Referendum and the rise of more rightwing/far right populist movements.
