Russian spy chief says Ukraine is America's second Vietnam!

Now we really know what the Kremlin thinks about the massive US financial involvement in the war in Ukraine. Sergei Naryshkin, chief of the Russian SVR intelligence service, has proclaimed that Ukraine will be America's second Vietnam, draining endless resources without achieving anything. He may well be right but surely Ukraine could also be Russia's Vietnam. Thousands and thousands of soldiers dying in a war the Russians can never win outright. Maybe Moscow will have its Saigon moment, pulling everyone out by helocopter from the rooftops in a panic evacuation. Either way, Naryshkin knows how to use propaganda to undermine the enemy - America in this case. Unfortunately, it is true that the amount of money being spent on propping up Ukraine's ability to defend itself against the Russian invaders is already staggering and it will go on and on as long as both sides refuse to consider a deal. I see that Lord Cameron, the back-to-the-future UK foreign secretary, is the latest western official to warn that if the funds dry up for Kyiv, Putin will just march into Poland and the Baltics. I don't see that argument because Putin knows that if he invades any country which is a member of the Nato alliance, it will lead to a full-scale war which Russia would lose. He is not winning in Ukraine but at least he thinks he has achieved some territorial advantange. If his troops invaded Poland, Putin would gain nothing except more bodybags.
