This smells like propaganda. It's on a random "news" blog with no information about the organization. There isn't even a name in the article's byline, only "News Desk." The article itself is lazy and biased, simply parroting taking points from a nationalist conservative think tank with a clear political agenda.

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.

As always it depends on the context.
US is currently dominant in weapons technology, Air forces ( Yes I used the plural correctly), nuclear delivery systems, submarines etc etc etc.
The US does have a manpower shortage in terms of metabolically healthy, and physically fit humans that it can draw upon for a ground war.
What are the parameters of the war they're modeling?
