- H8crilA 4y agoOK, but he won't have it. Time to get real. I'm not boasting, the war over the political control of all of Ukraine, or even the eastern half of it is lost. It didn't have to be lost, but it was lost in March of 2022. What remains is some "territorial details". (also, I think you should have written "Vietnam is far away from Washington", it was the USSR in the position of today's NATO and America in the position of Russia in my analogy; and fair enough it is).
- gpvos 4y agoOK, the Vietnam war was before my time, I'm vague on even some of the important stuff. On the other hand, US and USSR nuclear policies are not the same (the nuclear option is the main fear causing restraint towards Russia at the moment). As for Ukraine, they will still have a hard time reconquering the area currently under Russian control. Resources on the Ukrainian and Western side are also limited.
