As the famous muscovïan said, "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way"

Likewise every failed invasion is alike, and successes are successful in their own ways.

Ottomans' invasion of the caucuses, or the Kaiser's invasion of Belgium, or yes, as you say, the East India Company's invasion of Afghanistan in 1838 - failed invasions are quite alike.

I can see you tried to distract and whatabout, but really you just gave a nice reminder to relisten to some Dan Carlin

Nope, no distractions. Just drawing parallels that you have expanded on, these blunders need to be sorted out in better ways with all sides attempting at compromise in order to avert disaster.

No, it's not true that the scenario calls for Ukraine to compromise.

The scenario calls for ruzzia to immediately leave Ukraine and the separatist republics of Bilhorod, Ingushetia etc.

There can be no peace if Ukraine compromises and rewards Putin with land. That's a pro-war notion and you're in the wrong sub.
