Recently I watched a conversation between Tino Struckmann and Dr. Farrell. He said something to the effect that the people in Washington don’t know what they are doing. That invading Russia at Kursk with no supply lines is something that you simply don’t do. That invading Iran with all the mountains surrounding the coast is pure retardery. I did look at the topography, 
Geezzz what a nightmare.
Andrei Martyanov wrote a book called Loosing Military Supremacy. He points out the fact, that the US has never fought a real war in it’s history. That only the Civil War counts as a real war. The point he makes is that you can’t count foreign excursions, foreign adventurism as real war.
Israel also has never fought a war in it’s existence. The wars that it fought are essentially battles. Look at the number of troops involved. Look at the amount of time the hostilities were engaged in. Look in some cases, like in the Suez, outsiders told both sides “hey you are done now, stop fighting.” That’s not war, a war goes on for an extended period of time.
Real war is attritional. Real war is existential. Russia has been fighting attritional war since the Mongols. My favorite Webinar is the Russian strategic analysis. Is a treasure chest of history and detail. They understand at a visceral level what war actually is. When you look at that, you realize that neither the US nor Israel was ever prepared for the type of conflict they now find themselves in.
If you can pack up your stuff and leave, you were not fighting real war, it was not an existential war for you. Vietnam was American adventurism. Iraq was American adventurism. Afghanistan was American adventurism. I think the US has a distorted view of war, is not what people think it is.
