Comment on Without a hint of irony, Russia mocks US for 'miscalculating' Iran war

It seems like Russia has actually gained from its invasion of Ukraine while the US stands to lose (some of) its military bases and influence in gulf states. So I don’t see the necessity for irony.

What has Russia gained from the Ukraine invasion? Genuinely asking.

Way less people to pay pensions for in 30 years
Way less old weapons to recycle
Being BFF with North Korea
A possibility to turn around when the economy tanks
A greener world with less oil and gas exports
Enlarging NATO for a more peaceful future
Do I have to go on?

They helped deplete the US’s munition and now they’re in a much worse position to fight Iran.

Not really?
First, the US stopped sending aid a long time ago. It’s currently just that some of it is allowed to be sold to Ukraine by weapons manufacturers.
Second, most of what was sent was stuff that was sitting around that was required to be replaced anyway. It was created with the intent to fight Russia, and it was just wasting away. It literally has to be thrown away after a period, if it isn’t used, and replaced.
Whatever happens in Iran, it isn’t because of a lack of munitions. That pretty much been proven. It’s because the US can’t fight the kind of war that needs to be fought, and it never has been able to. Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan prove that. Iran can hide out in their mountains and nothing can be done about it.
