    No, the 3-day invasion from Russia started 24th of February 2022 so it will be 5 years in February 2027.

    Germany invaded Poland 1st of September 1939 and it lasted until Japan signed the documents of their surrender 2nd of September 1945.

    Germany didn't attack Russia until June of 1941, so for the Russians WWII is shorter

    Not necessarily true, if you consider Khalkhin Gol it could be said the Russians were fighting Japan, off the books as it were, being the first after China. Even if it was temporary.

    Failed? Iraq was the only successful invasion. The US friendly puppet government is still in power today.

    Now if you think the war was actually to end "terrorism" I can see how you would think that, but it was all about removing unfriendly governments to ensure the flow of oil.

    If you said Afghanistan you'd have been right

    If we're to include the low intensity part of the Russo-Ukrainian war to the low intensity part of the Second Gulf War, it's already passed that. The second Gulf War lasted from 2003 to 2011 (8 years) and the Russo-Ukrainian war has lasted from 2014 to present (12 years)
