No, Iran is definitely worse in every capacity, but you're still correct that this entire conflict is entirely run by deranged old men with fragile egos.
Maybe a decade ago.
No dude, you're underestimating Iran's regime. When I still lived in Iraq, they would literally pay school children pocket change so they could stand around and manufacture a crowd while their propped up proxy politicians give a pro-Iranian speech. This is their genuis idea to convince Iraqis that they're actually popular in our communities.
Do you think that America doesn’t do similar shit on an infinitely larger scale? Because we do. Fuck paying for a crowd, WE OVERTHROW DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADERS.
I literally lived in two countries that experienced both, and I'm telling you that Iran has been worse in both countries for far longer. Maybe America is worse elsewhere, but in Iraq and Syria? Iran is very hard to top. In Syria's case, there's more competition for that top spot because Turkey, Israel, and Russia all have really good cases for being the worst imperialist force in the country's recent history because they've all done just so much damage.
