    I am so surprised. Who could’ve ever thought that starting a proxy war using a comparatively tiny fascist state, against a massive nation with a far superior military would turn out badly? Who could’ve thought that imposing sanctions upon Russia, which is much closer than the US to China, might lead them to just … stop trading with you and trade with China instead? This is mind blowing and completely unexpected. /s

        I was talking about the physical size of Ukraine. It’s much smaller than Russia.

            Yes, but in general, it’s more difficult to capture or fight against a larger country, especially when said country is 28 times larger.
