  1.  @waynesmith7746  It might be worth noting that U.S. soldiers’ morale didn’t nose dive from the start. It was degraded over time until the Tet offensive, at which point it took a big hit (as did U.S. public opinion). Russian morale was not high to begin with at the start of the invasion of Ukraine and has been crumbling ever since.

  2. You’re making the mistake of conflating Russian speakers with ethnic Russians. To whatever degree that Ukrainian Russian speakers felt sympathetic to Russia, that support has been evaporating over the last six months. Even Separatists in the Donbas are rethinking their loyalty to Russia as they realize they will have even less independence as a Russian colony, and they see the brutality of the Russian military.

  5. I think Crimea will be the last to go, unless Russia suffers an internal political collapse of enormous proportions. This is not low probability as time passes. The chance increases a small amount every day that Russia continues its invasion. It’s analogous to compound interest.

  6.  @paaaatrika  The Vietnam conflict was more than 20 years, and arguably 30 years if you go back to the end of WWII. The first phase was against the French and ended in partition, the middle phase was a civil war with U.S. support but without direct U.S. involvement, the third phase was increasingly direct support (fighting the war) to prop up successive puppet governments that were increasingly corrupt. Thirty years of stubborn resistance is quite a long time!

  7.  @nvelsen1975  I’m only commenting on your first paragraph. I think you misunderstand “mobility”. That was U.S. doctrine. The Vietnamese, both the Vite Cong and PAVN, operated with a doctrine of “people’s war” aka insurgency. The war fighting doctrine of mobility doesn’t seem to beat the doctrine of insurgency. No one has yet devised a doctrine of counter insurgency (COIN) that works without resorting to genocide, ethnic cleansing, and terror. COIN is really really hard.

  8.  @andreadalcortivo747  The hardest part of war is the peace that comes after. If the war in Ukraine devolves into a counter insurgency, Russia still won’t win any more than the U.S. did in Vietnam. War crimes don’t win wars.

  9.  @tomk3732  Your main mistake is not recognizing that Russia is playing the role of Germany in the current war, engaging in a war of conquest based on a weird mystical nationalism that doesn’t even amount to a coherent ideology. You also clearly failed to watch the video.

  12. Although I think Russia will lose, you don’t seem to be geographically literate. Re-examine maps of the region and you’ll see that even without Crimea, Russia has access to both the Sea of Azov and to the Black Sea.
