Even if that would work (you can't compare Ukraine with Afghanistan or Vietnam) at what cost would it happen ?
Houndred of thousands dead, millions displaced, many cities turned into Ruins, the economy destroyed.
What would Putin do to Ukraine ? Reinstate a puppet government (maybe comeback for Ianoukovytch) and maybe He annexes Luhanks and Donezsk. Not good but it seems preferable.
The thing is Russia can hurt Ukraine much more than the other way around.
That makes fighting on irrational. I mean Russia has not even begun to use it's full Military potential.

You actually can. It is a modern world and if anything Afghanistan and Iraq are less populated poorer and has way less support. And yet, they win against the USA that is more powerful than Russia. If it gets to the point of guerilla war, Russia has 0 chances to win it.
Houndred of thousands dead, millions displaced, many cities turned into Ruins, the economy destroyed.
And alternative is? Economy ruined, countless people displaced, some dead, many more in a prison for life. Yeah, sure, more preferable. As if it is even a choice - to stop to defend yourself against an attacker.
Also like I said Russia did win cheynia with relativly little effort.
The alternative (in all likelyhood) would be the return to pre 2014 with 3 regions lost and no autonomy in FP (in opposite to de facto no autonomy pre 2014. Ofc that would mean the end of Zelensky.
My main problem is that Zelensky forces people who are smart enough not to want to fight this war down with him on his path of brave idiocy.
And people, who have nothing to loose in this fight uncritically cheering it.
