Has any nation ever won a war by fighting purely defensively? In any time in history? If so please list them.

Well, the Siege of Malta for one.

Very astute observation. Ukraine should obviously continue just fighting defensively because it worked once at the Seige of Malta (a tiny island). In fact I think they teach the Seige of Malta tactics at West Point as the bestest way for countries to succeed in repelling invaders, especially in waiting until they’re attacked by invaders over and over.
