The Russians had their asses handed to them on a plate in Afghanistan by a comparatively ragtag pack of Mujahideen war lords. And it was a major contributing factor in the fall of the Communist bloc. Putin is terrified that a loss in Ukraine will end up the same way for him. Which makes this thing worth every penny it costs us. It's just too bad that the cost is so high for Ukrainians. But not a cost as high as a Russian victory.
