You seem unable to imagine yourself in anyone else's position. You hypothesize that Russia will always meekly back down, yet you can't envision a situation in which USA would even compromise. Even worse, your repeated insistence on USA being militarily "vastly superior" shows that you're completely trapped in the mythology and unable to imagine yourself in the your own actual position. USA doesn't win wars. We haven't won a war in my parents' lifetimes. What our military exists to do is spend money. That's why it always "wins" the yearly how-much-money-did-you-waste-on-weaponry competition: no one else is competing! In Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Libya, in Syria, we have seen that regardless of the marketing, when USA attacks it does so without hope of obtaining any of its stated or unstated objectives. It's always just a bonfire of money and human lives.
