I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

Russia has a long and proud history of losing to "smaller, weaker " countries. Russo Japanese war, WW1, Polish Soviet war of 1919, the winter war, Afghanistan, Chechen war until they paid homage to the Kadyrovs. there's no reason to think there was never a chance at Ukrainian victory. Russia fumbles the bag plenty. But I get it. America bad so Russia stonk and good.

I think this kinda reductionist bs abolishes any kind of discussion. What does this have to do with anything? Where did I say such things?

But arming ukrainians and sending them to die weakens Russia, so the US likes that.

Right there. You said it right there And you're changing the subject. Russian victory was never a forgone conclusion. History has shown us that.
