100% accurate. We could say that the PPP is 2:1 and so the military economies they can bring to bear are roughly equal.
I.e. despite their overwhelming size and population advantage, Russia somehow winds up exactly evenly matched for a fight against Germany and Ukraine and nobody else involved.
Yes, they are roughly equal but one is growing and the other is on track for a two-year recession.
