>i see your point, but Iran isnt Russia
name an opponent of the West that the West has not confidently declared is weak and exhausted and doomed to soon fail. And before you say that's just one YT channel, there exists an equally impressive collection of headlines from the Economist and other mags declaring China's imminent collapse. When Japan was a rival, they said Japan would fail. This is the standard MO of the West.
