@Injun-b2q This is some serious cope right here. If Russia isn't trying to capture Bakhmut then why are they frantically trying to capture Bakhmut? Human wave assaults for 10 months. Somewhere north of 5-1 casualties in favor of Ukraine. Or do you think defenders advantage no longer exists, for the first war ever? Russia was desperate to capture it before May 9 so they had some sort of W they could point to. Typically when you invade a country you don't want to engage in trench warfare that never ends.
Imagine if the US invaded Mexico then 40 miles in they were stopped and started digging trenches and resurrected the M26 Pershing and said; "everything is going according to plan you just dont understand tactics" please. what's happening right now is Russia's worst nightmare, do you think they want to dust off T54's and Scooby Doo vans?
A complete humiliation for the self proclaimed world #2 army. Even Russian state media is all doom and gloom lately and its their job to lie about the war.
How about when Russia retreated from Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson? Is that an example of Russia "Dominating the battlefield" Let me guess you think them retreating was a gesture of goodwill. How about losing Izium, the main supply hub in the area, by some accounts the Ukrainians captured more equipment then they started the war with. The fact that Russia STILL cant get air superiority despite having every advantage. But they are incapable of basic SEAD never mind large scale air operations.
And I dont know what your obsession with some Vietnamese guy in a hole is. I said i'm not American. Who's defending the Vietnam war? Or is this just more braindead whataboutism, which is what every Russian argument boils down to. And you realize its not 1969 anymore right? the US army has changed. Vietnam is a good example of how you can win every battle and still lose the war. Look up the Russo-Japanese war if you want to see some real humiliation, or the Russo-Polish war, or the First Chechen war, the point is there's no shortage of Russian military humiliations (Ukraine war included)
As for Afghanistan the war was over in a matter of weeks, there hadn't been an attack on coaltion forces in years. Taliban were all in their hidey holes in the other Stans. The US could have left any time after they got Bin Laden and declared victory. You also realize Russia got smoked so bad in Afghanistan it collapsed their whole damn empire right?
Lets compare casualties in Afghanistan just for fun.
USSR: About 15,000 KIA Soviets.
Civilians: About 2,000,000 All in 10 years.
US: 2,402 KIA
Civilians: About 46,319 civilians in 20 years, though an estimated at least 1,010-1,297 Afghan civilians were directly killed by U.S./NATO actions.
US may not be perfect but at least they try, Russia will engage in reprisal killings and directly target civillians.
