I don't think it's lazy. This is a common thread that weaves throughout the entire history of European colonialism. Their racist ideology repeatedly causes them to underestimate their enemy. In the case of Iran, this has reached a completely new level of absurdity.

Combine this with the empire's decline and we're witnessing a defeat the scale of which the US has never before experienced. Trump is the perfect embodiment of this arrogance.
