One of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s closest aides has told Time Magazine that the Ukrainian leader has deluded himself into thinking Ukraine can win an ultimate victory against Russia after the failed counteroffensive and amid waning support for the conflict in the West.
The report said that despite the setbacks, Zelensky “does not intend to give up fighting or to sue for any kind of peace. On the contrary, his belief in Ukraine’s ultimate victory over Russia has hardened into a form that worries some of his advisers. It is immovable, verging on the messianic.”
The aide said Zelensky “deludes himself,” adding, “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that.” The report said that the idea of negotiating peace or a temporary truce with Russia remains taboo to Zelensky.
“For us it would mean leaving this wound open for future generations,” Zelensky told Time. “Maybe it will calm some people down inside our country, and outside, at least those who want to wrap things up at any price. But for me, that’s a problem, because we are left with this explosive force. We only delay its detonation.”
A senior Ukrainian military officer told the magazine that the armed forces has had to second guess orders that came from Kyiv’s political leadership, including an order to capture the Donetsk city of Horlivka. “They don’t have the men or the weapons,” the officer said. “Where are the weapons? Where is the artillery? Where are the new recruits?”
Ukraine is not just running low on weapons to fight the war but also manpower. One of Zelensky’s aides said even if Ukraine’s Western backers supplied all the arms they need, “we don’t have the men to use them.”
The report also detailed the corruption in the Ukrainian government that led to Zelensky’s recent move to sack former Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov. The author of the Time story, Simon Shuster, said he naively thought a Ukrainian official would think twice before taking a bribe, but an adviser to Zelensky told him otherwise. “Simon, you’re mistaken,” the adviser said. “People are stealing like there’s no tomorrow.”
“Time Magazine reports that Zelensky’s
hardline position is worrying his advisers and that Ukrainian officials
are ‘stealing like there’s no tomorrow'”
Just like Hitler in his bunker moving imaginary troops around a map and sending children out to die fighting the Russian army.
Zelensky has become psychopathic, while American NEOCONs use Israel as an off ramp from Ukraine.
Someone yesterday, I forget where, reported that Netanyahu is bunkered up with his wife.
Read the linked Time story. Even if we handed them every dollar we have, Ukraine would just suffer more and still lose the war.
Ok DeCamp, for balance, now write the same report but change the name to Putin because he too is delusional.
Nah, that would be to harsh for the vast majority of your bloggers here.
I’m sorry but that is completely false and clownish to say, which is why it’s not reported here.
Oh, a new blogger!!
Tell that to the guy that has been reading his Ukraine articles for about two years now.
Don’t get me wrong, I like the work he’s done for antiwar but I just don’t like how unbalanced he is when it comes to Ukraine.
You mean the absurd Ukrainian propaganda? The one that only a week or so ago admitted the missile that killed two Poles in Poland was not Russian but Ukrainian? The one that only recently admitted it was Ukraine that was selling the ZNPP? The one that still says the Russians ran out of ammo, equipment and troops in March last year? 🤡
No, no, I meant the absurd Russian propaganda. The one that claimed the West was lying about their invasion before they invaded, the one that invented a bunch of false pretenses to invade but invaded to take the Natural Gas, Grain, and Seaports riched lands, the one that has been killing Ukrainian civilians and destroying their cities while denying it.
Oh, the one that denied running out of ammo but then asked Iran, China, and North Korea for ammo. That one that cannot pay their soldiers salaries, sends poorly equipped and untrained soldiers to their deaths as cannon fodders, the one that doesn’t care about the thousands of dead Russian soldiers scattered all over Ukraine.
Lastly, the one that is getting its ass handed to it by a small poor country’s Army.
Yes, That one.
You are another tankie, no wonder my comment hurt your feelings
We are done. Now go suck your boy Putin.
I am well aware of the numerous Russian losses but I also remember the line of Clemenceau from WW1: “Les Boches sont toujours a Soissons” or The Krauts are still at Soissons (near Paris). Transplanted to today: “The Russians are still at Bakhmut”.
The Krauts lost WW1 largely because we sent an army to France. We are not going to send an army to help liberate Bakhmut and Crimea.
“We are done. Now go suck your boy Putin.”
Lol…..triggered much?
Uh oh – stankie using the “tankie” word again.
You are quite the Nazi, aren’t you? See my comment to the hilariously named Rational Thinker as it seems to address you similar delusions here. What will happen when this is over and Russia is victorious? Will you scurry away like a neocon rat, or will you admit you were wrong?
This war is over for Ukraine. Russia on the other hand is using this period to field and test it’s new military technical TOE. As far as that guy is concerned, there are always minions in every nation who find something in common with other minions in other places. Imagine a klan member seeking solace in the arms of a Nazi. Misery loves company. Their problem is ideology not reality. They will challenge anything that doesn’t stick to their ideology driven narrative by asking for “facts” or “proof” although it’s in abundance, but due to their blocked minds they cannot see them, or conveniently choose to obfuscate these truths so they can remain in their safe zones. The truth can never penetrate heavy indoctrination, this is ultimately the choice of the person to be willing to accept it. Then again minions are legion.

Not Russians. The Kremlin.

I have a pretty good sense of humor – easy for me to laugh when someone hilarious pops up from the outskirts.
Wouldn’t there be a need for one of Putin’s closest aides to do an interview with Time Magazine first? Or should DeCamp just make shit up?
Nothing new here. Zelensky risks nothing by prolonging the war; it’s his country that suffers, but he’s got his golden parachute and escape plans ready, and he’s rarely in Ukraine anymore anyway, too busy panhandling (and being celebrated) all over NATO. So why not continue it? The Ukrainians themselves need to end it; by getting rid of this knucklehead.
Three facts. The Ukrainian fall offensive was a monumental failure. There is no Russian counter-offensive.
Time for talking has come.
Fact 3: Russia does not aim to annex the currently occupied areas except for Crimea.
Possible: Ukraine may lose the Eastern Oblast’s if their occupation lasts too long.
I’m not following you. Ukraine’s offensive was a failure, but the Russians are in fact attacking, and seizing ground, all along the line, and the fighting around Avdiivka is as intense as anything around Bakhmut earlier this year. And re your Fact 3; Russia has already annexed all 5 oblasts it occupies; are you saying they intend to give them back?
I was thinking of a major break-through towards Kyiv to end the war.
With regards to the annexed oblasts, these are negotiation objects for keeping Ukraine out of NATO forever.
I agree that a major breakout is unlikely to happen. Clearing the rest of the Donbas is likely though, in my opinion; Avdiivka is the key to that.
Avdiivka is only one of the keys, but it is certainly a key.
Doesn’t matter whether they “intend” to give back Kherson and Zapozizhia or not. They’re going to.
Well, that’s an opinion. We’ll see. As they’ve annexed it, they apparently have no intention of doing so; and Ukraine has proven they can’t take it back.
“Well, that’s an opinion.”
That’s a very generous characterization for what is ill-informed wishful thinking. There is no way short of a major Russian defeat that such a return of what is now Russian territory will occur. And that defeat is not going to happen given the current balance of power.
I find it interesting that he keeps insisting this will happen. There’s absolutely no evidence supporting it. But, as I said; we’ll see.
Not insisting so much as continuing, in the face of an essentially unchanged situation, to predict.
Twenty months into the war, the Russians still haven’t completely secured the two easiest oblasts they’ve claimed to have annexed, and show no prospect of ever securing the other two.
In the meantime, while North Korean and Iranian aid MAY have SLIGHTLY reduced Russia’s massive production deficit versus its western opponents, it’s unlikely to come anywhere near closing the gap in the foreseeable future.
Every day that the war drags on leaves Russia less well-positioned to “win” that war in terms of holding on to this or that percentage of what it was able to initially seize.
I’m still convinced it can probably hold Donetsk and Luhansk … if it can find a way to wrap this thing up fairly soon. Otherwise, even Crimea could start looking dicey.
Interesting viewpoint; it doesn’t match the facts as I see them; Ukraine has shot its bolt, and gained nothing. There is little chance of them trying again on the scale of the last 6 months, and little chance of the US coming up with another 100 billion in aid. What Russia has taken is vital to their interests; Kherson east of the Dnieper is a shield to Crimea, Zaporizhe is the connection between Crimea and Donbas, and cuts Ukraine off from energy resources in the sea of azov. I see no chance of Ukraine getting any of it back.
Then our predictions disagree — and future developments will tell us which, if either, was correct.
One note, however:
My prediction has never, at any point, been based on the idea of successful Ukrainian “counter-offensives.” It’s always been based on the notion that the Russians have, and will continue to have, fewer incentives and more disincentives to continue banging their head against the wall as they continue to get weaker and the Ukrainians get stronger or, at worst, hold steady, and that the Russians will therefore eventually decide they need to get this thing wrapped up by securing a defensible line of control encompassing Donetsk and Luhansk instead of continuing to pretend indefinitely they do control, or even have any potential to control, Kherson and Zaporzizhia.
There’s no chance Ukraine will get “stronger”, relative to Russia, than they were at the beginning of June. Ukraine is a wrecked shell, and has nothing but what the west will give it, and that’s running out. Only the US is stupid enough to keep giving, but we can’t afford another 100 billion. Russia DOES control what they hold of Zaporizhe and Kherson; and Ukraine has proven they can’t take any of it back. There are solid advantages to Russia to holding what they have, so I expect they will.
“. . . Russia’s massive production deficit versus its western opponents . . .”
That gap to which you repeatedly refer is somewhere between theoretical and fantastic (as in arising from fantasy). In the real world of the here and now, it is entirely obvious that Ukraine and its Western sponsors and suppliers are the ones unable to provide adequate materiel for the fight, and sufficient manpower for the fight, not the Russians.
“I’m still convinced it can probably hold Donetsk and Luhansk … if it
can find a way to wrap this thing up fairly soon. Otherwise, even Crimea
could start looking dicey.”
Ha. Either I need better drugs or you do.
What in the world makes you think Russia needs, wants or intends to “wrap this thing up quickly?” Everything we’ve seen to date indicates that Russia is perfectly content to fight a patient, deliberate war of attrition, confident that it is Ukraine that is unable to sustain effective operations over the long term. It appears to me that that’s probably true.
“Everything we’ve seen to date indicates that Russia is perfectly content to fight a patient, deliberate war of attrition”
Sure, if by “fight a patient, deliberate war of attrition” you mean “trying but failing for nearly two years to accomplish plausible objectives.”
You keep imagining that you know what Russia’s objectives are. It’s weird.
No, I just keep assuming that Putin and his military advisors would choose plausible objectives. I do not imagine, for example, that he hopes to rebuild the Russian empire to its pre-1990 Soviet heights, or even to reconquer, say, Poland.
It’s POSSIBLE that Putin is crazy and that his military advisors are idiots, but I doubt it.
“No, I just keep assuming that Putin and his military advisors would choose plausible objectives.”
I see. Well, plausibility, by definition, is a matter of opinion and analysis. We shall see whether your mind and the minds in the Kremlin agree on what is or is not plausible. I suspect that we will learn that they do not.
I’ve deferred to yr military-logistic judgments before, but yr argument here seems simplistic – treating Russia’s military “production deficit” as the main ‘outcome’ factor.
To be clear about my view, seems to me the war has been stalemated for some time, and it’s not clear to me a decisive victory is possible on either side – hopeful but incorrect predictions of Putin’s health, or Russia running out of missiles, or ‘what the mutiny shows,’ or ‘game changing’ HIMARS, or ‘the counteroffensive!’ notwithstanding.
This isn’t just me – the “stalemate” view of US officials keeps churning to the surface – eg repeatedly in the NYT (where even David French admitted ‘uberweapons’ were often quickly corrected for by ‘the enemy’), or by Charap in Foreign Policy.
And Russia’s wins in specific cities don’t change my ‘long term stalemate’ view. Because – as Mearsheimer has said – both the US and Russia are heavily invested, and won’t back off.
But beyond the apparent, outward stalemate, there are other factors you don’t seem to consider – like that, despite the ‘disparity,’ Russia actually is increasing military production; or like a war of attrition not from a materiel but from a ‘manpower’ pov – involving both ‘running out of soldiers’ and ‘having limited soldiers to use more weapons; or the inherent disadvantage of – so far – not being able to wage significant direct war on Russian territory; or geopolitical accidents that pull state and citizen support away from the US/NATO/Ukraine, like Hamas/Israel.
If you wait long enough – in a “as long as it takes” forever war – something will change – though not necessarily what you think. But at best, your prediction seems infinitely extendable – if you’ve said it 50 times, your prediction has already been going on for a while…whereas the “every day” weakening of Russia’s apparent capacities? Show me where…
Would you explain to us why you’re so certain that Russia is “going to” “give back” those oblasts?
I’ve already done so below, for probably the 50th time.
Check your facts again. Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaparozhia, and Kherson have been annexed to Russia already. To expect that Russia will surrender them to Ukraine, especially when the correlation of forces favors Russia is unrealistic.
The fall offensive is still operational. Russia has expended LARGE amounts of men and machines around Avdiivka and still hasn’t enveloped the Ukrainian positions. Ukraine advances around Robotyne (albeit in small chunks but still advancing) and they’ve established a beachhead and captured some towns along the left bank of the Donipro river.
Get your info from many different sources before you comment. (But that’s not the tankie way, is it?)
“The fall offensive is still operational.”
Oh, I think you’ll find Russian land mines and fortified defenses QUITE operational when your Rebel…erm, Ukrainian SS conscript…friends arrive…
At least you got the bad guys right with your comment.
I’m not sure if this conflict would be as simple as “good guys” and “bad guys”. The U.S. has been engaging in military actions and held a military embargo against Cuba for decades after missile equipment was placed on its territory, and as it stands there appear to be extremists on both sides (the Azov regiment and Vladmir Prigozhin’s Wagner come to mind). While your of course free to have your own thoughts and opinions on the context and morality of the ongoing conflict, I’d disagree with painting it as clear-cut as you imply it would be.
“Ukraine advances around Robotyne (albeit in small chunks but still advancing) and they’ve established a beachhead and captured some towns along the left bank of the Donipro river.”
You are spelling Dnieper incorrectly. You are delusional, just like Zelensky. No they are not advancing in Robotyne. The propaganda has been saying this for months, but the line has barely moved. In fact Ukraine was pushed back to the edge of Robotyne (the western edge), but has recently moved (maybe 2 tree lines) to where it was a few months ago. Remember in August when we kept hearing about how the Ukrainians were on the verge of taking Verbove? How did that pan out? Here’s what western propaganda was proclaiming at the end of August:
https://news.yahoo.com/ukrainian-armed-forces-progress-towards-115900473.html
and
https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/08/29/two-ukrainian-air-assault-brigades-are-flanking-russias-next-strongpoint-on-the-road-to-melitopol/?sh=4273fff21d1c
Look at the map in the first article and then look at even pro Nazi maps now and you will see that Ukraine has at best captured 3 tree lines on the eastern side of Robotyne.
The reason that Ukraine can’t advance towards Melitopol is because they haven’t even breached the first line of defense and are stuck in a shooting gallery in Robotyne. Any armor or troops they push into that salient is promptly destroyed by Russia. Specifically because of the Russian’s defense in depth strategy. While Ukraine may make small gains here and there, those gains are then pushed back as the artillery tears up the front line units and the Ukrainians have to pull back. They then regroup and try again making a small gain of two or three tree lines. Rinse and repeat. This is what has been going on since mid August. We can start talking about the Ukrainian offensive succeeding when they breach the first line of defense, but even then they will have at least two more lines to go through until they reach Melitopol. The same thing applies to the small beach heads they have on the eastern side of the Dnieper. Claiming that the Ukrainians are advancing is delusional.
“
RussiaUkraine has expended LARGE amounts of men and machines aroundAvdiivkathe entire front line and still hasn’t envelopedthe Ukrainianany (as in zero) Russian positions.”FTFY. Yes Russia is taking loses in Avdiivka. That’s what happens when one goes on the offensive. The difference is that Russia has the capacity to replace those losses, while Ukraine does not have the capacity to replace its losses. Not only that, but Western financial support appears to be drying up. Both sides need to get to the negotiating table ASAP and stop the killing. This is the only way forward for Ukraine, otherwise we will get a repeat of this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Dnieper
and Ukraine will end up a land locked rump state. They still have window where they can bargain with Putin and the card they have to play is a guarantee to not join NATO in return for some land and/or the promise that Russia will not cut them off from the Black Sea.
Thanks for correcting my Autocorrect. (Spelling police usually use correction to cover for their incompetent take on things.)
You are not totally wrong and you’re not totally right. Ukraine began the offensive with a “Weatern approach” and got beaten up for it. They changed to an approach to attrit Russian helos, artillery, and logistics. This approach obviously takes more time to accomplish goals. (You admit they are advancing — however slowly so thanks for that.)
Western aid is being questioned by those in congress who might be under Russian influence. I don’t think that’ll hold but we’ll see. I wouldn’t take the Russian bait but you seem to be in love with the strongman type.
“You admit they are advancing — however slowly so thanks for that.”
No I don’t admit that. Ukraine has advanced into a prepared position, and is now stuck there with any small gains of 1 or two tree lines reversed a week later. Rinse and repeat. That’s why they seem to be making small gains, but not really moving forward. Once again because you seem to be kinda slow: 1)Ukraine takes a tree line making a small advance with in the prepared position, 2) Russia destroys the forward units with artillery and drones, 3) Ukraine has to abandon the tree line to regroup and rearm, 4) Repeat. Got it sporto?
“who might be under Russian influence.”
Citation needed. Individuals can disagree and debate the insane policies proposed by neocons without being “under Russian influence.”
“I wouldn’t take the Russian bait but you seem to be in love with the strongman type.”
Russian bait? What are you talking about? What have I said that gives you any indication as to what my political preferences are? Hint: it’s not sympathy towards totalitarianism.
I require citation but you do not. (What a jaggoff.)
I’m sure you’re embarrassed to say you “used to be” a republican but I understand why you are.
In the South, the Ukes still advance. There is no “they take a tree line and then get pushed back”. (That’s your Putin propaganda talking.) The Ykes advance might be too slow for some but I’m thinking they’re not gonna stop in the South for the winter. Gotta up your info game, son.
Citation is needed because unlike the situation on the battlefield (as foggy as it may be), which is in some ways verifiable, the content of the human mind is not. Therefore you need some type of evidence, say a pattern of public statements that would go towards demonstrating Russian sympathies. You stating that certain Republicans are “under Russian influence” is even less believable than your clueless analysis of the Ukrainian offensive.
“I’m sure you’re embarrassed to say you “used to be” a republican but I understand why you are.”
I’ve never been a Republican so try again. My personal political beliefs have nothing to do with the facts on the ground in Ukraine even though you and tequila guy keep trying to make it an issue. When it comes to American priorities as far as funding and foreign policy then yes my political proclivities inform that analysis. I’m antiwar and have been ever since the homicidal American response to 911 in my formative years.
Just listen to yourself. You claim Ukraine is advancing and have kept making that claim since Robotyne was captured. You have obviously not been paying attention to the map and noticed how the same few rows of trees (on the east and west of the salient) have been changing hands back and forth since the middle of August. Are you really that stupid, or are you just a propaganda hack fraud?
I said they MIGHT be under Russian influence. (Which does NOT require a citation.) I am not with the FBI and I’m not an investigative journalist. When someone acts a certain way towards an enemy, you can — and will — speculate about their sympathies or financial entanglements.
You’re antiwar but you support Russian war. (That’s what Don Julio and I criticize.) That “confused response” regarding war hints at a right-wing pathology (Nine of you understand irony.)
It is YIU that can’t read a map. I follow quite a few different sources and they all agree that there are incremental advances in certain area of Ukraine.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/10/29/ukrainian-troops-have-established-a-bridgehead-across-the-dnipro-river-but-the-russians-still-have-time-to-crush-it/?sh=cd80bb375cd4
(Whoops! There I go with a citation!)
A**hole!
“speculate about their sympathies”
Ok, good, so you admit you are talking out of your ass. You are just regurgitating propaganda lines without any actual thought having gone into your ramblings.
“You’re antiwar but you support Russian war.”
Please show me where I have supported the Russian war. Just because I believe Russia will win says nothing about my political leanings which are decidedly not “right-wing.” So wrong again sporto.
“incremental advances”
Yes, yes I am well aware of the 800-1000 or so troops the Ukrainians have managed to get across the Dnieper in the few places they have the high ground on their bank. The question is are these positions sustainable and can they develop them? In my opinion, no, they can’t develop them because they have no heavy armor or air support with which to do so. The winter may bring some problems for the Russians in this direction, but overall the trajectory of the conflict will remain unchanged. Even if Ukraine manages to make a dramatic attack across the Dnieper and take significant territory from which to threaten Crimea I do not think they have the manpower to sustain that push let along take Crimea without collapsing some other area of the front.
I may be proven incorrect in this analysis and only time will tell. There has been plenty of incompetence on the Russian side during the war, but the Russians seem to be gaining experience and applying lessons learned. Maybe the neocon propaganda is true and the Russian army will collapse and Putin will be overthrown, but I doubt it.
I’m kinda more shocked that a standard msm propaganda outlet would allow publication of this type of dissent. Should I be reading into why this slipped out?
Because Zelensky has outlived his usefulness. He’s going to get dumped in a ditch by Azov on orders from Washington.
That’s what I was wondering.
Hitler was delusional as well he thought even when the Red Army was kicking down the door of Berlin he still thought he could win .
No timeline on how long soldiers must remain on the front:
Protests in Ukraine demand return of soldiers from the front

He leaned it from Trump believing he won the 2020 election…!
81 million. That’s delusional.
But you got your wars. I hope you’re happy with all of YOUR death and destruction.
And we’d have peace otherwise?
I, for one, don’t think we would have peace under The Donald. Trump seems like he’d flop to whatever position seems most advantageous to himself personally. He’s a postmodern ‘Diamond’ Joe Quimby – “Errr, ahhh, if that is the way the wind is blowing, let it not be said I do not also…blow.”
I heard Lindsey Graham talk about our “enemies” being afraid of Trump as the reason the current wars wouldn’t have happened. Trump has said he should have the nuke codes because our enemies know he’d use them. We might not have the wars, but we’ll never have peace.
Addiction is a disease. When confronted with intervention, an addict will quickly shield him/herself with a high level dose of denial and rationalization. Due to their advanced capabilities in manipulation and lying, active addicts find themselves in an insanity loop. Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different outcome. Zelensky, Guiness Book Grifter of the Century, has been so successful at manipulating Washington, not for Ukraine’s sake (rationalization), but rather for the purpose of withdrawl prevention and steady supply of that “white girl”. Whatever is playing in his mind, in regards to reality, I m sure H.G. Wells, Lovecraft, Gene Rodenberry, Stephen King and Lucas himself, would slit their wrists out of sheer jealousy.
Do you have any proof Z for Zelensky is a drug addict or are you just following the Kremlin line?
Unlike you, I m not a tool. Once upon a time, everyone was capable of taking in information, analysing it and steadily building an understanding of events. Nowadays, you dare try do that and immediately you are pushed into a “category” by the agents of so called liberal democracy with all its alleged tenets like freedom of speech. In reality, truth is not allowed to flourish but rather safe talk, narrative hugging. This is 2023, and STILL Kremlin media savvy is dwarfed by everything Western. Hell, they don’t even speak English. However, action speaks louder than words, and if you cannot work out on your own the workings of the world today and rely on a straight jacket to keep you safe, then oh boy, you are in for a rude awakening!
All that nice talking just to admit you don’t have any proof.
Basically, you are repeating Kremlin BS propaganda here.
Drink some more tequila sporto.
I pity you. Cope harder.
Julio had the Ukrainians chasing the Russians back to Moscow just a few months ago. He’s in denial as well. He still believes that Ukraine can win the war.

Addiction doesn’t depend on a substance.
Shove your BS action.
Show some proof if you are going to make statements like that.
I can say Putin is a closet gay but I won’t because I don’t have the proof.
EDIT: Now addiction doesn’t depend on a substance. Nice come back.
You claim others “suck Putin’s cock” when they point out battlefield realities, but when you engage in personal defense of Zelensky what is that? Why are you so invested in this individual? He’s an actor with not a statesman. It’s very odd.
Relevant?
Has Zelensky forgotten that he is a pawn? Or is he merely Joe’s whipping boy.
“Zelensky ‘Deludes’ Himself Into Thinking Ukraine Can Win War,” LOLOL. Where would he get this crazy idea!? That’s funny! …Oh, WAIT!? …ARE YOU SERIOUS? LIKE FROM EVERY OTHER US, NATO, AND EU POLITICIAN?
Sounds much like The Iraq and Iran war decades ago.
