Russia is struggling with Ukraine and would not come close to standing a chance against NATO and the United States if it attacks us.
——-
Russia has not even mobilized yet, and the NATO countries are prematurely blowing their wad gifting the Ukies arms and ammo. Without NG and energy, the EU’s manufacturing is shutting down. Where have you been?

"Russia has not even mobilized yet"

The West has not mobilized either - because it won't have to.

Russia's GDP is less than that of Italy, and Russia's GDP is more dependent on oil and gas than is that of Saudi Arabia.

Give them another year or two to burn through the rest of the gear and ammo they inherited from the Soviet Union, and they are going to be a much poorer and weaker country - another North Korea at China's beck and call.

Putin did that!
