Watching TV shows or movies that display Russia as a military superpower is almost surreal nowadays.
(self.showerthoughts)
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
An actual world super power would have rolled over Ukraine in a week. The fact that they've beat the Russians back for an entire year is not only totally bad-ass and heroic, but it also exposed the Russian Army for the weakling it is. The only reason Russia is still considered a world super power is because of their stockpile of Soviet era nukes. If Russia can't take Ukraine, they have zero chance against countries like China or the US, and especially not the combined forces of the United Nations?
