While Russia is indeed a threat needed to be dealt with. The author vastly overstates Russian military capabilities.

You are correct. I would have no concerns over Russia making, for example, an aggressive move towards the Baltics or Ukraine. There conventional forces are overmatched. They are only a threat if they escalate to nuclear weapons.

The problem is taking them on the head-to-head would require full commitment of our armed forces. As our forces stand we no longer have the capability to fight two large scale conventional wars. In that instance my concern would be China would pursue their interests in Asia while we're engaged with Russia. We wouldn't be in a position to stop them both.

The author vastly overstates Russian military capabilities.

I'm more concerned over America's shrinking capabilities and China's increase in military might.

Who believes, if push came to shove, that China would not ally itself with Russia?

AND...the incredible shrinking phony president is taking a meat axe to our incredible shrinking military.

No. The author correctly rates the Euroweinies wimpiness.
If the US won’t save them even current Russia will kick their asses.
