The point of difference is not that we disagree that Ukraine lacks the resources to directly dislodge the Russian military from the area they control by direct physical action. It's that we recognize that in many (most!) conflicts where a smaller military has defeated a larger country, it has not been necessary for the smaller military to actually drive out the other army - or even to have the capacity to do so.

For some reason, that does not seem to register with you.

Wrong. I understand the point. And have acknowledged it.
What I'm not doing is letting you people wave your hands and immediately equate "this with that".

You have to show your work. The fundamental disagreement that exists in this thread is that I don't accept the premise that "all they have to do is hold on and Putin will quit" that many of your running buddies have adopted.

My suggestions have been to find ways to help them speed this process up so they actually have a country left when this is over.

For some reason that's just not a consideration among liberals.
