    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.

      If anyone is unfamiliar with the heritage foundation they are just a mouthpiece for the ultra-wealthy’s interests. Nothing they say should be taken as factual information.

    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.
