Vietnam was a failure, Iraq was a failure, Afghanistan was a failure.
I concede that NATO would put in more effort against Russia, but how about better not finding out in the first place? Russia would also put in more effort.
This is hubris at its finest.

That Russia's obvious takeaway from Ukraine should be "we'd lose fast and badly against actual NATO". As with Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, a loss in Ukraine is most likely to come from the West going "eh whatever good enough we're out", not superior tech on the Russian side.
