The problem is that the Russians are fighting from their huge country, so logistic is less than an issue for them. The US doesn't have land near Iran and none of the bordering countries are entering this war. So the US is in a logistic nightmare.
To add to that, Russians see Ukraine as an integral part of their national identity, so there is a will to fight on their part despite heavy losses. The Iran War was started by Trump with no formal declaration and is already deeply unpopular from the getgo. Outside of a quick sugar rush of patriotism, there is zero tolerance from the American public for this to become a war of attrition. This goes too for the servicemen and women already deployed there, who don't have the post 9/11 revenge/idealism motivation and are already being affected by low morale and fatigue.

Putin, through a combination of oil revenues and whatever unsavory methods he has at his disposal, is able to preserve some modicum of stability. America is deeply polarized and Trump has more to lose than ever with his legal issues and association with Epstein. There's also the personal dimension, in that with his age and ego Trump is definately obsessed with his legacy, and for now its shaping up to be a pedophile and the man who got America into its worst military disaster since Iraq. Long story short, if the Iran War lasts into Fall, America will likely face not just economic recession but perhaps the worst political instability it ever faced since the Civil War.

A sign you’re losing a war is when your own people are leaking how it’s all you making the decisions on executing the war.

Should anyone be surprised when Trump wants to go back to the US having outdated battleships just because he likes the big guns going BOOM? Look at how he wants to be J Paul Getty creating an oil empire. That’s why he’s all about oil and this war.

Iran is punching well above what everyone thought possible. Removing that old man Khamenei was the best thing that happened. It has now freed up the hardliners in the IRGC from weak politicians and religious people and now they are fighting. Complete opposite to Russia where Putin’s narcissistic ego has shackled Russian hardliners in the Ukraine war.
what is Iran track record of winning any battle.
Houthi lost more than 70% of Yemen land and Socotra Island to Saudi. and you think Iran can survive against these people. one side is open to business and another lost one its largest trading partner UAE.
Decline of Europe and Turkey impact Iran not Saudi which with greater soft power and technical ability opportunity to accelerate new Empire. which is essentially is a Unipolar world.

I posted Putin statements in this thread. it has definition of both Zelensky and Ukranian.
Zelensky was elected during previous Trump term and he was visited by Netanyahu in Kiev. Netanyahu first visit to Kiev in 20 years.

Russia fire power exceed whole NATO that give Putin confidence to make changes that otherwise not possible. dont fall for exaggerated Ukrainian claims of Russian losses.
Putin only want people with character that are not half breed and dispose of characterless people.
why do you think why he is announcing these bonuses to attract people to fight?
Putin is making this internet so un attractive that people start reading books and he has essentially created a digital prison. Presumption is that people that play with gadgets not perform well through out life.
This video from yesterday showing that a finacee is taking care of wounded soldier. meaning Russian girls should be loyal.. Same standards as top of the line Islamists. The point i am making is creation of Soft Power is more important to Putin than application of real hard Power to Ukraine

The Houthis are in control of 70-80% of Yemen's population and its capital city, no amount of Saudi soft power can change that

The West thinks they deserve to be treated with so much respect… Stoltenberg who kissed Trump’s butt so much thinks NATO won’t last Trump’s presidency? And didn’t the guy who replace him call Trump “Daddy”? Of course Trump expects China to help because he’s ordering China to send warships in opening the Strait of Hormuz and then expects to be thanked for it. Remember how early on Macron said France and China were going to join to find a solution to the conflict. Yeah he was going to order China to spend all its influence on Iran to get what the West wanted.
