>>"The Americans lost in Vietnam in the years 1965 to 1975 some 58 thousand own soldiers. That is slightly less than the Russians have lost in the ukriane after just 7 months. Also, the Americans gained their military mission objectives and won every major ground engagement - they lost the war politically, not militarily. Russia in the ukraine fails to gain its objectives, and gets defeated by routine now in ground engagements. Its loosing. Poltically AND militarily."
BTW, I disagree with you here.
Any war is the achievement of political goals.
And if the political goals ones were not achieved, then all the sacrifices of their own soldiers were in vain.
