Not necessarily true, if you consider Khalkhin Gol it could be said the Russians were fighting Japan, off the books as it were, being the first after China. Even if it was temporary.
And don’t forget that the Soviets invaded Poland and Finland in 1939, even if they failed to take Finland. And the 1940 invasions of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Romania.
Failed? Iraq was the only successful invasion. The US friendly puppet government is still in power today.
Now if you think the war was actually to end “terrorism” I can see how you would think that, but it was all about removing unfriendly governments to ensure the flow of oil.
If we’re to include the low intensity part of the Russo-Ukrainian war to the low intensity part of the Second Gulf War, it’s already passed that. The second Gulf War lasted from 2003 to 2011 (8 years) and the Russo-Ukrainian war has lasted from 2014 to present (12 years)
In februari it will have lasted as long as ww2
I believe you mean The Great Patriotic War, comrade
Username checks out ;)
No, the 3-day invasion from Russia started 24th of February 2022 so it will be 5 years in February 2027.
Germany invaded Poland 1st of September 1939 and it lasted until Japan signed the documents of their surrender 2nd of September 1945.
Germany didn’t attack Russia until June of 1941, so for the Russians WWII is shorter

How long until its lasted as long as the failed illegal invasion of Iraq?

If you said Afghanistan you’d have been right

That is certainly one way to state your agreement

Didn’t they literally say they included that part?
