Heavy losses don’t mean the Russians are losing the war, however.

Churchill was the bigger appeaser, IMO. The whole "formal" reason Britain declared war in 1939 was to defend Poland, and yet in 1944-45 Churchill sold out Poland and much of eastern Europe to another dictator, Stalin. In 1938 at Munich, in the name of buying time and avoiding war, Chamberlain thought it prudent to sell out 15 million Czechoslovakians in a territory of about 140,800 km2. In Feb 1945 at Yalta, for the much of the same reasons, Churchill thought it prudent to sell out 45 million Poles, Romanians, Bulgarians, Hungarians and others covering 1.3 million km2 to fifty years of slavery and servitude.
Furthermore, as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1924 to 1929, Churchill made significant cuts to defense spending, including reductions in the Royal Navy's budget, military aircraft development, and overall military personnel and resources. And yet Chamberlain, whose government led Britain's rearmament, is the great appeaser and Churchill the master victor? I call sus on this.

There's a difference between kneeling because you can and kneeling because you must. Stalin handed the West -- not just Churchill -- a fait accompli. Chamberlain had the option to go to war, unpalatable though it was.
As CoE, he was restricted by the 10-year rule, correct? In the financial environment post-WWI, it doesn't matter who was CoE, budget reductions were going to happen. That, however, is a very different issue than not standing up to Hitler's depredations until it was too late.

Putin has done the same, as when the armistice or ceasefire is declared, Russia will be holding over 20% of Ukraine's pre-2014 territory. Let's see who plays the Dictator's complacent, agreeable Churchill this time around.

Not wishing to overly divert the thread, but what was Churchill supposed to do about the wester spread of communism? He didn't 'appease' - he accepted an extremely unpleasant reality as being beyond his power to change.

That's what Putin is hoping to encounter this time around. What is Trump or any of the Western leaders supposed to do about Russian occupation of 20% of Ukraine including Crimea? They'll be obliged to accept the unpleasant reality as being beyond their power to change, and will de facto accept Russia's annexation of southern Ukraine. No one in the West will support sending their sons and daughters to fight and die for Ukraine. Putin, like Stalin, has our measure.
