The Attrition Illusion In The Middle East

Régis Ollivier – March 15, 2026

Already used by Russia in the war against Ukraine — and now invoked against Iran — the same narrative keeps returning: wait long enough and the adversary will run out of missiles and ammunition.

The world waits.

And waits.

Like Sister Anne in the old tale, it keeps looking to the horizon… and sees nothing coming.

For now, Iran continues to fire, again and again.

At the same time, Donald Trump is attempting to rally France and other countries in order to widen the conflict and internationalize the theater of operations.

A way of drawing ever more actors into a world war that still does not yet speak its name.

Recent history reminds us of a simple truth:

A war is always easier to start than it is to end.

🫡 The Colonel sends his regards.
