Honest thoughts on this entire war is that it feels like it's never going to end. Almost like this is this generation's Vietnam or Afghanistan war. A needlessly stretched out war for no other reason except it just has to happen. Not really sure what more to comment on this since almost everyone has forgotten about the conflict by now sadly.

Some reading materials I could recommend for this thread

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
