And a defeat early on doesn’t mean your side loses in the end. Russia plans to use the infrastructure of Ukraine after they take them, so it’s not like carpet bombing and artillery striking every square inch of the country is an option. They have to carefully capture and then hold territory and having civilians be able to work in the factories and power stations etc afterwards is kinda important.
But you’re right, Russia could never conquer anyone. I’ll just sit here and Crimea river over those poor Russian troops

Right, it just means that your plan for a sweeping invasion of the country has failed — which was my point.
