I haven't read the article, but yes, wars do have time-limits:
Once a war becomes domestically impossible to participate in, Vietnam as 1 proof, then the-course-of-war changes.
Economic-collapse means that Biden's hosed in 2024, and the Republicans are Russian allies, not NATO allies.
Yes wars have time-limits.
Simply wait & see: by the end of 2025, NATO will be gutted, Trump will have been crowned GEOTUS ( a term they already use for him ), and Trump will ( passively, at least ) back Russia.
Sickening, but it looks like that's the fact of the unfolding global/geopolitical near-future.
I've been told that to start a fight in Francophones, just demand to know whether grapefruit ( pamplemousse, iirc ), is male or female...

The book "The Alphabet Versus The Goddess" by Leonard Shlain, makes the point that women's-rights simply don't progress as quickly, in countries which have gendered languages...
So, Anglo cultures pushed women's-rights, whereas Latin cultures .. won't, don't, drag their heels, etc...
That book is now a couple ?decades? old?
It's still true.
Conditioning an entire population's System-1 ( Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking Fast & Slow", the System-1 is the default-instinct & the trained-now-automatic-expertise system, it also is the system that is both addiction & prejudice ) into gendering everything, automatically, may well prevent equal-validity from ever having place...
Mind you, I now want to see which Nordic/Scandi languages are gendered, & which Middle-East languages are gendered, to see if that holds in those parts of the world, not just in the Americas...

( that isn't a quick read... may come back to it some day... )
Bingo!
"The grammatical gender of nouns is one of two: a noun may be masculine or it may be feminine, and there is no neutral option. Moreover, masculinity is the default grammatical gender in Arabic and a word does not have to have anything special in order to reflect this. Femininity, on the other hand, is not default and a noun would have to have something special to reflect this gender in Arabic."

So, there is ZERO hope of equal-validity in Arabic culture, because the language programs Arabic people's System-1 into 2 exclusive validity-categories, with male being inherently more-valid, by established language-habit.
What about Hebrew?

No wonder women can't get equal-validity in Jewish culture...
( I read a Jewess's writing ~ Nobody EVERY celebrated the birth of a Jewish girl: only boys are celebrated ~ .. which explains the damage in the stereotypical "Jewish mother", a woman whose validity has been contempted by all in her culture, until the damage is her most defining feature... )
So, it looks like equal-rights/equal-validity for women is .. baseless, in some/many cultures...
Interesting, but depressing.
