Why did the US fight against Japan after Pear Harbor? It just meant that more people got killed, both American and Japanese.
Why did the Soviet Union fight against Nazi Germany? It literally was just killing more people, both Soviet and German.
Because they could win is why they fought. Since Ukraine wont win, why fight?
Why did the North Vietnamese fight against the United States? Surely they could not have won?
Why did the Afghani fight against the Soviet Union? There's no way they could win against a superpower, right?
Those are different kinds of wars. Insurgent wars are different than wars between two established governments. Do you understand the difference?
