US and Russian Wars of Aggression Failing to Achieve Goals
An analysis in Der Freitag argues that the aggressive wars waged by the US and Russia are failing to achieve their objectives. The UN Charter, born from WWII, outlawed war as a tool of policy, but major powers have normalized it. Russia's invasion of Ukraine and US/Israeli campaigns against Iran demonstrate that military superiority does not guarantee success. Both conflicts have deviated from plan, with Iran and Ukraine resisting superpowers effectively.
