If A can beat B, does that mean C can beat A?

Mei will lose to Tsunade, but is seen at the same level, yet Kushina is below both. How is that? I don't understand how you can justify Kushina's Kage potential by comparing her prowess to theirs. Not every character is equal to, less or greater than one another in terms of combat, but rankings are looked at differently. By your logic, Tsunade and Mei should be able to restrain Kurama alone, which I think we can all agree is not true. Kushina doesn't have to defeat Tsunade or Mei to be considered on the same level, in fact, Tsunade being able to kill Mei kind of proves that. Had we seen more of Kushina, I'm confident she has the requisites to be Kage level with Tsunade and Mei.
