2024-07-24 at 6:35 PM UTCOn March 20, 2003 the Untied States military deployed across 2 continents, and ocean, and a sea. The then engaged the 6th largest standing army in the world. Just 65 days later on May 23, 2003 that army was officially dismantled.
On February 24, 2022 Russia deployed off the from their own front porch, as well as that of Belarus, into the neighbors yard against 22nd most powerful military at that time. In 882 days or 2 years, 5 months, 1 day Russia only controls 46,000 sq mi out of 233,062 sq mi. That is only 20% of the total territory of the Ukraine. The most Russia has every controlled was in March of 2022 when they controlled 63,000 sq mi or around 27% and that was reduced the following month to 44,000 sq mi or 19%.
These are just facts and you are free to draw your own conclusions. However it paints a pretty clear picture as far as I can tell. -

1. '22nd most powerful' army is a particularly poor opinion, not a fact. prior to 2014 Ukraine had one of the most effective militaries in Europe, and after 2014 it was consistently armed and reorganised (for better or worse) by NATO.
2. trying to measure a conflict in terms of territory is a poor metric, especially in terms of attrition warfare.
3. how much territory does the US control in Afghanistan or Iraq after their militaries were 'dismantled'? -
