      Are they lost? Yes

      Have they lost? Unfortunately no, they’re going to throw death and suffering at this conflict they started until they get what they want or they (somehow) run out of bodies to throw.

        Imagine Vietnam-era US, but it was willing to sacrifice every warm body within its borders to win.

        Like the US, I think Russia is on a collision course with failure. But they’re going to take it a lot farther before waving a white flag. So much so that it will take the country decades to recover.

        And Ukraine won’t be looking too hot at that point anymore, either.
