Nobody is going to directly engage a global nuclear superpower in armed conflict unless they are literally being invaded.

> purely from a population perspective, Ukraine will fail eventually unless they can effectively force-multiply like we've never seen in any other armed conflict.

Successful invasions and occupations are not decided "purely from a population perspective".

Oh, so why did "Korean" and "Vietnamese" pilots suddenly started speaking russian when they were shot down?

USSR directly engaged USA, China did the same in Korean War.

There are already US citizens fighting Russia in Ukraine. As long as there's plausible (or honest) deniability, USA and Russia aren't directly engaging in combat.
