      Probably, its their proud soldiers going of to war… And losing. Or maybe still winning but at a high cost

      Military embarrassments is a pretty terminal for regimes, Argentina post Falklands war comes to mind

      Either way, pretty sure the red states would like him more if he won with no consequences

        I guess that’s true. In aggressor states “how dare they resist” can be a real dynamic, but the examples I can think of are more from within the military or regime itself, not civilians.
