        It took 20 fucking years for American invaders to give up on Iraq.

        What if it takes that long for Russia to give up?

          You likely mean Afghanistan, Iraq was a 8 year mess.

            The US’s coalition was supporting the Iraqi government against insurgents until 2021

            We could expect the same in Ukraine, a constant low level war that drags on and on for years after it’s “over”
