"We learned from Vietnam that it doesn't matter how many body bags we counted."

Those numbers mattered a lot to us, not so much to the North Vietnamese.
It was the same in Korea against the Chi-Coms.

Impossible to say today how much Russians care about their war dead. So far it seems not very much.

The Americans kicked @$$ in Vietnam. Yet it was a strategic defeat.

The Ukrainians may have destroyed the initial Russian invading army on February 24, 2022. But it doesn't matter because Putin was able to mobilize another army of 300,000 Russians

2022 Russian mobilization

Putin can mobilize another army in 2030 and finally conquer Ukraine, if he has to.
