Invasion geography USA

jesus fucking christ the ignorance is maddening! Yes, yes, I'm in geography and I love maps and I can't expect everyone to be a political map expert, naming all the countries in the world, but mistaking Australia for Korea and Iran?? Saying 'bomb Iran because there's going to be a revolution' and 'invade France because they weren't America's alleys vis-a-vis Iraq'. Disgusting. No wonder the world's a fucking mess.
