I mean the USA was chased out of Vietnam by rice farmers with bamboo sticks, it's not like this means anything, Russia could absolutely reduce Ukraine to dust and ashes in a month if they truly wanted to, its a matter of how much force they wish to commit
Imho it's just a very wrong comparison: first it's like 60 years ago without drones and precise weapons, missiles etc...
Second you could make it right if Vietnam was as much advanced as US (minus nuclear weapons), and if it was sharing borders with US, But it's not so try to find another example.
Btw there are none, Ukraine is a special case of a failure "special operation" and the future mostly depends of western military assistance/support.
It's pretty clear that now Ukraine will never return to Russia, it may concede some territories,
unlikely atm.
