Sounds like you are agreeing with me, not arguing against me.

USA had more manufacturing capacity

[Iran have] never shown any interest in conventional warfare

So these cancel out.

You couldn't pick an enemy in the world more willing and able to put up a fight against Israel

So they have already shown willingness to fight one enemy. But after this attack.

and America.

Now they have been provoked into a war with the US.

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.

Yes, that parallel is much stronger.
