Russia is 5x the size of Ukraine, and called itself the 2nd most powerful army on the planet.

Now it's the second most powerful army in Ukraine.

You're bragging after they got their ass handed to them by their version of Canadians.

That's not even close to true, unless you count civilians, which isn't surprising because they're literally fighting in their country.

So yes, be proud, Russia has butchered more civilians!
