They don't have the population to fight this war forever.

World War I lasted 3 years World War II lasted 4.5 years. The Korean war was 3 years*. This is already over 2 years.

Iran versus Iraq I think was around 9 years. I'm doing all this by memory. The war in Nigeria which included six countries lasted 5 years if I recall.

They either need the one in France in the UK to start throwing troops and equipment at Russia and North Korea or they need to get a nuke.
