Did US go full war mode on Afghanistan or Iraq by a national mobilization? No. Was the 20 years war a stalemate? Yes. Was USA already giving its all? No.I’m genuinely surprised at the amount of licks Russia has been taking esp in the aftermath of the recent Ukraine developments; I must wonder, is it possible that Russia doesn’t want to go full war mode on Ukraine because it is already in defacto war mode against essentially American NATO in Ukrainian colours?
ie Russia is already giving its all in Ukraine against nato and the result so far is stalemate?
You get your answer. You can compare Sino-Vietnamese border conflict as well, the answer is the same.
It all depends on what answer you want to get, not what the facts tell you.
