You seem to mean to say that russia will pay any cost for a pyrrhic victory. Whether or not that's a win...well.
Personally, just as the west over estimated russias comptence, and russia underestimated ukrainian resistrence- we're now overestimating russian will, and under estimating ukranian agency and resolve.
Here, let me ask a question that hits the right buttons. Did the us win in vietnam, or in afghanistan? That's where russia currently finds itself, except worse...if you can imagine it.
