I'll need to read up on afghanistan war but for ww1 i'd say that russia lost because it had a revolution co-occuring and it was already a collapsing country

    And history books would say that the revolution occurred because Russia lost (and specifically the Tsar lost, after publicly announcing he was taking control and stop the stream of Russian defeats).

    Also if they couldn't win the war, they shouldn't have started it in the first place. That they were unable to recognise their own military strength and started a war that would destroy them is a failure in and of itself. And to clarify, I'm talking about WW1 not Ukraine here.
