You have an enraged Ukrainian population that will IED and sniper the Russians for the next 50 years.

I think you have the Ruskies confused with the US. You know. Like we did in....
-Vietnam
-Iraq
-Afghanistan
-Syria

Oh, but that's okay! We've got a military that has the best the world can offer in LBGQTXYZRWBC training and a leader that can't stand vertical for two days in a row.

And then take a look at how the Ruskies took care of the Chechens when they tried that crap.

If history is an indicator, the Ruskies will be just fine with their win.

The Soviets took care of the Afghans when they tried that crap... oh wait.

“the Ruskies will be just fine with their win.”

If that’s winning, you don’t want to see losing.

You mention the US retreats, fine. But we dominated in each one militarily, before our politicians forced retreats.

The Russians aren’t winning and in fact, they were beaten militarily in Afghanistan.
