        Understand history? The closest parallel I can come up with is Germany invading Poland. How’d that turn out again?

          It turned out with Germany claiming they could defeat the Russians and getting their ass handed to them when they tried.

          One doesn’t simply defeat the largest country in the world.

            One doesn’t invade the largest country in the world. Ask Afghanistan and Finland how resisting a Soviet invasion went. all that land mass only helps if the enemy is trying to capture it.
