I totally agree that most Europeans wouldn’t know that especially the size. In Europa the education standards varies alot between countries too. Is that true for different states aswell? I might have been to quick to generalize.

My point was more along the lines that you should know the location of the countries you actively waged war in. I didn’t realize it changed to Iran I meant Iraq.

Europe works fundamentally different so it’s hard to compare this statement. If i lived in Portugal why should I protest the Finnish government, they have little to non power over me. I think a fairer comparison would be to “protest in Brüssel” which a few groups did do but certainly less. Or do you just chose that comparison based on the distance?

But I certainly agree that education could be better everywhere!

Most Us Americans couldn’t even find Iran and Isreal on a map so this doesn’t surprise me.
