Alexander the Great and Napoleon were both destroyed when they entered into asian land wars.
Alexander reached India and was defeated (died soon after). Napoleon lost to the Russian winter and never really recovered.

Napoleon never made it to the Urals, how the fuck was that possible?
Thailand won a land war with vichy france (although to be fair, they were poorly armed and 3/4 of their troops were colonial troops).
French navel forces butt fucked Thai coastal defense though.

>Alexander reached India and was defeated
Alexander wasn't defeated. He suffered heavy casualties against the Indians, but he still conquered a fair bit of land.
His horse died, his army mutinied, so they turned back.
