Yeah, and the biggest threat to Europe couldn't invade a corrupt and relatively impoverished country with less than a 10th of its military strength that it shares a border with and has direct rail routes into. And that was before we started to send weapons to Ukraine.

So I'm sure the only thing stopping Putin from taking over Europe isn't the UK, France or Germany, each if which has a military on par with Russia.
