U.S. Goal in Ukraine: a Quagmire for Russia?

Obviously, we all hope Russia is beaten in Ukraine and retreats with huge costs, financially and diplomatically, that discourages them from launching similar invasions in the future.

But a quagmire implies something that is ongoing, like the U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

I don’t think there is a humanitarian on the planet who wants Russia in Ukraine 10 minutes longer than absolutely necessary.
