Won? Not at all. Will survive indefinitely in an asymmetrical, unpopular war that will bolster the legitimacy of their increasingly repressive government? Yes. Which is better than winning, in some ways.

That's what "winning" a war is in real life

“Winning” is right and not as sensational. “Won” is looking for clicks.

I'm reminded of a comedy song from the 90s about the amazing Hugo Zacchini (I know, way to change gears) that, well, here are some of the lyrics.

There was Hugo
And there was Hugo
There was Hugo all over the place

I gotta go listen to that again, but I forgot to bring my headphones to bed and if I get out of bed I'm gonna eat a bowl of salsa.

Anyways, my point before I got distracted is that war just leaves people in pieces.
