I’m curious what people think, is this going to devolve into a more Vietnam like situation where he’s there for years, or will Putin acknowledge he can’t afford this war and find an exit strategy?

I think Putin is putting effort into meddling with the US midterm to have the GOP in power. And have those GOP reduce support for Ukraine. With less support, Putin sees an opportunity to win the war.

This is effectively a surrender. It's definitely not Vietnam. Putin can't hold any ground in Ukraine. He'll be lucky to keep Crimea.
