One fun thing about my family hosting exchange students when I was younger, is that I'm constantly talking to people who expect things of their government, while half of US Asians thing government can't do anything.

I also think it was obvious, basically everyone with sense said that Iran could win the war simply by outlasting US resolve, and they did precisely that. Trump basically thought the Iranians would fold like the Venezuelans did after Maduro, he was wrong.
