There is always a tendency to blame the big bad enemy de-jour for a loss of a war against some relatively minor enemy.
Thus it was Iranian EFP's (made in Iraq) that were to blame for the defeat of U.S. forces in Iraq. It likewise was Soviet support that let the U.S. lose its pants in Vietnam.
Now it is Russia's fault that Saudi Arabia's infrastructure gets hit by Yemeni weapons.
