    I’m just saying that there’s no fair comparison between USA in 1941 and Iran in 2025 because everything about their situations is different, despite the similar results we’re likely to see.

    I was neither agreeing or disagreeing with you.

      History rhymes rather than repeats.

      I think the parallels of a country being unjustly attacked by another, possibly leading to a world war, are worth considering.

        No, I think beyond this meme there’s zero to link the two. Far more ominous are the parallels to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Even down to the false claims of WMD.
