If (or when) NATO is directly fighting Russia, NATO will be composed of the US, Canada, Ideland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, Solvenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia, Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, and the UK (I might have missed some).

One way to tell this story is that "Russia can't possibly win a war against all these countries! There are so many countries in NATO!"

Another way to thell this story is that "Russia's enemy is already divided."

Being divided into 30 some odd nations doesn't make NATO more powerful just because 30 is a bigger number than 1. It's actually far less powerful to be divided.

A better way to compare these powers is to compare actual capabilities: Tanks, artillery, soldiers, fighter jets, etc.

Russia is also divided. Do you think Chechens are looking forward to dying for Putin who has slaughtered them the same way he is slaughtering Ukrainians now ?

besides, NATO always meant just USA. everybody else is there for moral cover - to make it seem like we aren't acting unilaterally.

when i was in Boston recently there were troops in both hotels i stayed in for whatever reason - maybe they are there to test some weapons BAE systems is developing i dunno ...

the uniformed person in 1st hotel was some kind of twink, he smiled at me but i turned away to show i don't approve of US military ... he walked away hanging his head like his neck was broken ... i felt sorry for him ...

but the two uniformed dudes in the other hotel were tall, built, holding their chins high and walking like they own the place and honestly i wouldn't mess with anybody who looked like them ...

this idea that US military is composed entirely of Trannies is IMO a cope of the Putin-Trump right. yes there are clearly some Twinks and Trannies in there but there are also dudes who are absolute Terminators and i haven't seen any of those in the Russian army. Russian solders all just look like normal guys.

how many guys that look like Ivan Drago does the army actually need ? it only needs some. trannies and twinks are probably fine for 90% of the work, which is basically just piloting drones with a joystick.

the point is - US army doesn't need anybody's help to defeat Russia. sure Putin-Fags will disagree but these people don't actually have any brains - they are simply trying to be based. most of them are 12 years old trying to signal how alpha they are supporting Based Putin to cover up for the fact that they sleep with a Fumo doll.

Fair points. Russia is internally divided, and the US alone could win against Russia. I don't disagree.

Divisions is a everywhere in and every a country is everyone is a try to kill each one other

sorry, when i used the word "army" i meant "military" because in Russian "Армия" is a bit more of an umbrella term similar to "military" whereas in America "army" is a specific branch of the military ...

the war UAxRUS shows comparing numbers on paper may be misleading. wars always bring some surprises.

RUS army is not always an example of eficiency and professionalism, to say the least. 🤣

on the other hand:

USA had to provide logistical support for interventions in Libya and Mali. This does not bode well to the force projection capabilities of western europe. Would they depend on the USA again?

Portugal's 24 Leopards had zero readiness. Not a single one was fully oprational (1 or 2 y ago). And Portugal NEVER bought real ammo (10K eur a piece), only training ammo.

Germany struggled to provide fighters and support planes for afeganistan and the baltic countries (which, BTW, need foreing fighters because they have zero fighters). A few years ago, GER could not keep any of their 6 subs in the baltic sea. They have been fixing that, but yet...

Romenian army did a lot of teatrics to pass NATO inspections...

Many NATO countries are well below the 2% of PIB for defense they promised.

Difficult to say what would happen.

Finally, to activate Article 5 they would need to provoke RUS into agression. Why would the Russians do that before finishing UA, even if they wanted full war?
