This still doesn’t make Russia magically have a larger industrial base than NATO, it’s absurd.

I guess at this point I shouldn’t be surprised that your reading comprehension is poor.

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

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

Russia’s production costs are also far lower than the West’s, in part because Moscow is sacrificing safety and quality in its effort to build weapons more cheaply, Mr. Salm said. For instance, it costs a Western country $5,000 to $6,000 to make a 155-millimeter artillery round, whereas it costs Russia about $600 to produce a comparable 152-millimeter artillery shell, he said.

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 🤞

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.
