You think that's a lot look at how much the US dropped on countries they weren't even at war with.

America lost Vietnam the same way Britain lost the War of 1812. They came over, beat everyone up, then left.

A conventional Russian armed forces, yeah, in all likelihood. Vietnam wasn't that, and where it was, the North did badly by comparison.

The hypothetical is normally involving a conventional, symmetric war in Europe.
