I don't see what bearing that has on a theoretical debate about warfare and Geo-politics, but whatever floats your boat I suppose.

It sure does no? Do you think the West has infinite resources and limitless patience? Look how they've walked away from Yemen no? How about Afghanistan? The only reason they're in Iraq today is because Iraq will face a trade embargo if it expels the US and forfeit its half a trillion sovereign fund. If the US leaves Iraq, then the US garrisons in Syria will also get rolled up in short order, because they are supplied via the Al-Anbar/ Al-Assad and the KRG bases. Why I mentioned having lived in thewest (multiple countries) is because you should know the western psychology. Everything and anything the westerners do is based on cost vs benefit/ return basis. When westerners see diminishing returns on investment, they just walk away.
