The whoosh was for myself...

I actually think considerations for a ground war are pointless when considering near-peer adversaries where all sides have nuclear weapons.

PSA: @yogthos@lemmy.ml is a radical pushing a specific anti-US agenda. Keep that in mind when considering their posts and comments. I suspect "news" organization linked to in this particular post is an Iranian-funded propaganda outlet.

People could make a pass at a reasonable argument that the US armed forces are lagging behind China (the evidence for that is still poor), but claiming it lags Russia has no basis in reality.

😆 whoosh

I make no endorsement of the source itself :)

I believe the slash is being used to mean "or", rather than as a division sign.
