These are orthogonal problems.

Getting into this war was stupid.

Being unable to win it is also pretty bad.

Clausewitz would say they are the same: the stupid war is the continuation of stupid politics by other means. The objectives are unclear, which prevents them being achieved.

These are the same problem. Getting into this war was stupid because it's virtually impossible to win it.
