Similar in a way to USA /Vietnam. Not a popular war with the public and the financial costs were, if not crippling, then extreme. And Russia will (probably) loose in Ukraine for the same reasons. What major wars in recent (last hundred years or so) have been won by the country that started them? Being attacked is a compelling way of getting the populace onside with the government as well as allied countries.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
