Actually... nothing in this thread is really out to lunch. I spent decades in the mil, started in the cold war and was trained accordingly, and spent the last decade doing major war plans (the ones we tend to talk about here).

The best trained and equipped military is useless when there is incompetent leadership. I've lived through my share of good and bad leadership in the military and the poorly executed Afghanistan withdrawal put the world on notice that the US has idiots telling the military what to do. I am very confident that there were more than a few field grade officers in the five sided puzzle palace strongly advising that there was a plan that should be employed for the withdrawal. They were obviously ignored.
The rest of the world has seen this and other military responses over the past year and the Ukraine situation is due to our poor execution.
The odds of US leadership becoming more competent in military and diplomatic actions in the next 3 years is miniscule and for that reason it would be best if the US military disengaged from all foreign engagement until we have competent leadership at the helm.

We will be parking aircraft shortly. The pilot shortage will be shut off like a 747 fire Bomber dumping on a campfire.

You're looking at things on a different timeline than Russian leadership. They've been slowly regaining land they lost control of three and a half decades ago.
Less than a century ago, Germany attempted to conquer Russia.
Two centuries ago, France attempted to conquer Russia.
A couple of decades before that, Sweden initiated a war on Russia.
Before that, the Ottoman Empire attacked Russia.
And so on...
Again, depends on one's timeline. I posit that this buffer zone from the west is viewed in terms of centuries rather than years or decades.
