Listen, don't talk nonsense! I don't know where you read this or who helped you, but I'll explain it to you even more simply.
Nominal GDP is calculated based on the cost of all services and final products produced, in US dollars. In Western countries, the cost of services and final products is significantly higher than, for example, in Russia, China, or India. Conventionally, if a loaf of bread costs $100 in your country, it costs $10 in Russia, but you record $100 in your nominal GDP.
That's why you're losing to Russia in Ukraine, despite your total GDP! Because while you produce one shell, Russia produces ten shells, and it will cost less, with the same financial costs on both sides. Russia fulfills all its social obligations, while you constantly cut them because you have no money, despite your GDP!
That is why GDP in PPP terms reflects real purchasing power and capabilities. You have huge debts, you have been living in debt for a long time, and you record unsecured, printed money in your nominal GDP!!! Therefore, nominal GDP does not reflect real capabilities.
Here is the debt rating by country.

So don't worry about Russia, compared to your debts, Russia is doing fine! Canada has more than 100% of its GDP, while Russia has 12%!!!
So, stop talking nonsense!
And stop whining and complaining all the time. You are constantly trying to humiliate my country and my people, and you are not being objective, you are spreading misinformation.
You live in a country that supplies military equipment to kill Russian and Ukrainian people, among others, so don't you dare tell me how to feel about you. I have no problem with Europeans or Americans, but I hate your politics, those who implement them, and those who support them, and I have a moral right to do so!
