  • Russian military doctrine is not based on quality.

    The problem for Western Europe now is that they are invested in small expeditionary styled formations and high-cost components. Eastern and Northern Europe (and Nords) are the only nations planning for defensive actions, and the only ones with enough Democratic cohesion to operate.

    Russia would engage in hybrid depletionary tactics follwed by grinding efforts of force, like the Ukraine situation. Europe can only win in against this strategy if they are willing to operationally decapitate (Iraq war style), but are politically set up for defensive lines at most. Trying to decapitate Russia will most likelyy lead to WW3, so it is a non-starter.

    Ironically, the Balts might actually survive the next decade, due to their strategic value for the Nords and Poland.

    If Europe really wanted to participate in their own security, they would he dumping weapons and money into Ukraine.
