Versus just the European NATO nations, Russia would stand a snowflake’s chance within a blast furnace.
Just looking at Russia’s military performance in Ukraine gives you the answer.
- In 3 years of war, and over 800,000 casualties, Russia controls a piddling 20% of Ukraine. European nations (total) have far more territory.
- European NATO nations wouldn’t have restrictions about hitting targets deep within Russia. Bye bye, oil depots…on day one.
- European NATO nations wouldn’t still be buying Russian oil a year into the conflict. That would stop…on day one.
- Against European NATO, Russia’s aviation wouldn’t go up against 80s Soviet tech (and fail to achieve air superiority). Russia would be facing Typhoons, Gripens, Rafales, and F-35s, armed with long-range Meteor missiles.
- European nations have more advanced hardware…they already have it…they don’t have to wait for somebody else to dither around for months, or years, before finally sending it.
- European nations have already trained on their more advanced hardware. There’s no waiting for months until crews have been trained to read controls in a foreign language, and understand a decades newer system.
- European NATO nations actually have navies. Russia couldn’t defeat a country without a navy!
Russia entered combat with Ukraine with nearly every conceivable military advantage (except training, competent military leadership, and logistics expertise), and has managed to repeatedly fumble the ball in the ongoing war.
If they couldn’t beat Ukraine, they certainly couldn’t defeat Poland…alone, or Finland…alone, and certainly not all the European NATO nations!
