          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”
