It's curious how Russia can't seem to defeat Ukraine, and the US is having so much difficulty with Iran. (lemmy.world)

The two superpowers (since the term itself was coined) having such difficulty with comparatively small nations. Does it force a rethink of their status?

I think the attack on Iran sucks most for Taiwan, as it shows China that while the US may be able to project force than any other nation, they get tired very easily.

Yes, but it also shows that a relatively weak nation can deny waterways to much more powerful navy. Taiwan is already working very closely with Ukraine on getting naval drones for that reason.
