Not sure Putin can go on like this forever.

The US lost less than 1000 soldiers per year in Iraq.

Russia lost something like 20,000 soldiers in the first 6 months in Ukraine.

As far as I know, no US soldiers fled the USA during the Iraq war.

Over 100,000 Russian soldiers already fled Russia.

The Vietnam war is probably a better comparison, young men who knew it wasn't a good war streamed across the Canadian border

30,000 American draft dodgers went to Canada during the Vietnam War, but 30,000 Canadians joined the US military to fight in the Vietnam War. <https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/6o1b3f/til_t...>
