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.
