Ask Singaporeans, Indonesians, Malaysians, Vietnam, Thailand... The only regions where the sentiment of "Russia will fail and relinquish all captured territory" holds is in Europe and North America.

Ah, the famous experts for land wars in Europe: Malaysia and Thailand.

Tbh the experts for land wars in Europe was the Soviet Union... It's not even close. Soviet military doctrine won the Second World War against a better trained, better supplied, and more technologically advanced force. The scale and scope of Soviet operations is astonishing and enabled the Soviets to approach casualty parity in the later stages of the war.

Yah, Vietnam would never expect that a foreign invader would try to invade a country, fail, and then leave entirely. When would they have ever witnessed that happen?

And his cronies apparently.

We can't change horses mid-stream which is why Zelensky will not hold elections. But ousting the military chief of Ukranian Armed forces? Of course that would happen.
