Don't forget the 100% accurate film Enemy at the Gates, and the Soviet missions in the Call of Duty games, which make you an expert on the USSR's military contribution to WWII.

good guys never lose

You know, many Americans genuinely think the good guys won every war of the 20th century that the US was involved in

B-but the good guys always win in star wars, LOTR, Avengers etc. !!11

apparently a lot of western liberals can, I guess that's what happens when you get your education exclusively from reading harry potter

Once you huff enough corporate media you can imagine anything they say.

Vietnam beat the US, not really the soundest argument.

Nicholas 2 and Russo-Japanese war. Different situation, I know

By that logic, Russia should have annexed Ukraine by now.

what will happen is the UKO troops will sacrafice 100k+ troops in order to secure a 0.5km stretch of land, US says 'wars over' they put this on the frontpage of all news papers and everyone goes home

I mean, there's still plenty of people claiming that US had won in Afghanistan, Iraq, even Vietnam.

On the other hand, the powers that be seem pretty darn dedicated to prolonging this slaughter as long as humanely possible, and to hell with escalation

They will revise their memories and carry on as if they always knew the things that later came to light, just like with every other highly profitable national disgrace

It will be another "if only there was even more money and tech magic thrown into the pit it would have been a win"

Wine cave warriors can't accept defeat. They just find a new angle to be condescending and look down on others.

If it didn't then it would never get published.
