Oh, I bet it will go swimmingly for Iran to attack Ukraine. Don’t they have all their oil infrstructure concentrated on one island? Ukraine has been very effective in hitting Russian oil facilities.

No, they have massive storage in one ityy bitty island that could very easily be turned into a huge ecological disaster

Iran has been planning this war for decades… They’d have to be total fools to think it wouldn’t be a target. And if you know where the enemy will strike and all that

Well, for one, Russia also had years, and did in fact take years, to plan the invasion in Ukraine. That didn’t turn out too great. And secondly, no matter how good your plan is, if all of your oil export infrastructure is that concentrated, it is at risk.

Is it as concentrated as it appears? It’s basic art of war stuff, appear weak where you are strong and strong where you’re weak

The island is basically a bomb. It’s an enormous oil depot, with millions of barrels, not processing. It would hurt Iranian exports for sure, but if they’re not idiots they’d have contingencies so they could spend the island strategically

Russia failed because they mistook a hard target for a soft one and let their military be rotted by corruption… Their plan looked fine on paper

"Russia failed by winning the war too slowly"

• people succeeding by losing wars

It all makes sense…

Almost like you guys completely fail to understand that it is indeed possible to lose by “winning too slowly”. War is expensive and the longer it goes on the more it is crippling Russia’s economy.

If you are paying attention to this war as we enter its 5th year, Russia’s front line isn’t doing too well at the minute, especially so since Russia’s starlink access and messaging services have been cut off. Russia is currently moving troops around to try and plug holes in their leaky front line.
