I think the Russian GDP is roughly half of Germany’s GDP alone

not when measured in PPP

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.
