PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Not really. Iran is using alot of the same tactics that have been defeating the AFU. It is why they have been so successful. Despite the wild exaggerations of western media they haven't been particularly successful. they had an edge early on but that has long since gone by the wayside.
You do know that the Mossad has been conducting false flag operations in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, don't you?
Given the number of western drones being taken down by Iran with EW it seems like Russia has shared that tech with Tehran too.
Apparently, the Russians have been providing technical support to the Iranians in the targeting of US and Israeli military facilities. Meanwhile, Iranian vessels have been sailing out of China's ports loaded with stuff they bought for their war effort.
The US is also talking about pulling air defense out of other theatres to redeploy to the ME and Zelensky won't get getting any new interceptors.
And it is not just Ukraine. The US will likely lose South Korea in the next year or so because that is another place the US is looking at stripping of air defenses to protect Bibi. And Seoul knows the only reason why the US is in their country is to pick a fight with China which actually runs counter to Korean business and economic interests. Plus last year after a coup was attempted the US response was "we don't care just as long as you don't postpone our wargames".
China has no interest in picking a fight with anyone. It is going to surpass and dominate the US as the largest economy in the world by far. China has only one goal: economic expansion. War and international conflict are counter-productive.
Furthermore the EU will hang them out to dry because they will have to come begging back to Moscow just so they don't freeze. and Ukraine will be told to let the oil flow or else.
These are the harsh realities of being a vassal. You only matter for as long as you are convenient and useful.
Kiev is neither at the moment for the US and Brussels.
It is a pity that the west won't change its attitude and see everything as a zero sum game.
Trump has put the US in the same situation the European colonial empires were placed in 80 years ago of having to decide which territories they will let go.
And Trump is already throwing all the Gulf kingdoms under the bus for Israel.
Trump has unwittingly reveal the face of western hegemonic nature. The rest of the world must come to terms with it.
