The U.S. War for Independence . . . net gain.
Spanish-American War (though we shouldn't have started that in the first place).

True. But no one believed Putin would invade to this extent.
In February I was arguing that he would just threaten and get his way, with Germany and France hastening to reassure him that they would not allow Ukraine to join NATO, with him recognising and then annexing DPR and LPR as a fait accompli. And with an impotent NATO and Zelensky sinking into irrelevance.
But he gambled big and lost big.
