Pointing to the Iran-Iraq War is completely retarded. It'd be like someone in WW2 pointing to the USSR-Poland War and saying "See! The Soviets are pushovers! German will totally win!"
And it's not because of time, one side improving, or anything else like that - but just different circumstances producing different results. In the Iran-Iraq War both sides lost any ability to gain any strategic initiative or tempo, so the war devolved into trench warfare. And that's similarly what happened recently with Ukraine. This isn't some inevitable consequence of one side being shit or one side being awesome, it's what happens in modern warfare when you lose initiative. It could happen in any war, to any side. And if your side is run by competent people, they don't let it happen because if they do then they've basically already lost.
