This comparison is by default deceptive. It compares NATO to Russia but completely ignores the other countries allied to Russia.
During the cold war, I was in a front line unit and our life expectancy in the case of a Russian attack was 4 HOURS! If we survived longer than that we were doing well.
It would be very foolish to underestimate the capabilities and resolve of Russians as many have regretted such beliefs in the past.
I live in Europe and I pray that the idiots currently pushing for conflict come to their senses and seek a peaceful solution for all our sakes.
Edit: I'm not sure how many of those are French but given their history of waving white flags, I would subtract those from the total.

You're welcome but ultimately all this dick wagging is pointless if the Garden of Eden is destroyed in the process.
Another point to consider:
Turkey has the 2nd largest military within NATO behind the USA.
How confident are you that Erdogan would not side with Putin?
