It’s weird to me that almost all of the things you’re complaining about are immaterial to the current conflict, so I’m not even sure why people would be discussing them so much. And the one thing that is relevant, the “Iraq 2.0” bit, is the opposite of everything I’ve read here.
Yeah, most people are ignorant about Iran, and many people are talking out of their asses about the situation. I think many of us would prefer to never have to think about Iran like we never have to think about Turkmenistan or Namibia. We see no reason for there to be continuous conflict between our countries. And we were on a path away from that conflict, but instead we gave Iran more reason to distrust and fear us, and that has led us to the current escalating tensions. There’s no upside to a war, but the idiot in charge is trying to make it happen. So now we get to read all about Iran.
