Russia is the biggest economy in Europe in terms of PPP, and has a bigger industry than all of NATO combined. Yet, here we have you regurgitating nonsense that you've been spoon fed by your propagandists.
PPP isn't related to size, doughnut. Do you even know what it stands for?
Bigger industry? Russia GDP 2.24 trillion dollars
NATO GDP 45 trillion dollars
Lol
Well let's just see what people who actually have a clue have to say muffin https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine
And the fact that you don't even understand why using nominal GDP is nonsensical really does add to the comedy.
This still doesn't make Russia magically have a larger industrial base than NATO, it's absurd.
You think Price Point Parity is a measure of size, so I'm not sure you even understand what you are trying to claim. You're certainly not using the right terms
And if you think Russia allocating 40% of government spending to be able to wage war on one small country makes them capable, good luck 🤞
I guess at this point I shouldn't be surprised that your reading comprehension is poor.
I certainly am using the right terms. Cost of production in Russia is far lower than in the west, which makes it absurd to make GDP comparisons. The fact that you can't understand this shows that you have no clue regarding the subject you're attempting to debate here. Here's an example that might help you understand what's happening
Except Russia isn't doing anything of the sort. This is just something you pulled out of your ass because you're an extremely gullible individual who lacks capacity for critical thinking.
