A year back I made the argument you just did pretty much. you and I both know it’s true. But you are about to get hit with knee jerk reactions that you will not believe. If you don’t I’ll genuinely be surprised.
Folks, remember Lafyette and Alexander the Great before going off on ‘they’re just kids tangents. History did not begin 1n 1900.
Or look up Charles XII of Sweden. Inherited at 15 and was promptly invaded by all of his neighbors, who thought they could partition the punk kid’s territories.
He proceeded to whip Denmark/Norway and Poland/Lithuania. Then launched the first great European invasion of Russia, which worked out about as well as the later ones.
