Of course it is, I can do the math. And exactly because of that Europe should strive to bleed off Russia's reserves, and firepower while it still can.
If Europe lets Russia's massive armour advantage to continue, no amount of airpower, nukes, "smart bombs," or whatever else wunderwaffe will save them when 3-5 tank armies will pour through Fulda gap.

- wwtrv 6y agoNot that I’m in any way justifying them but Russia’s actions in the Ukraine might be considered to be defensive in nature (from a purely pragmatic real-politik point of view). Ukraine used to be pretty much a puppet state of Russia until 2014. When pro-western parties cam to power Putin decided to just peel off what he can (Crimea) since they are are gonna loose the rest anyway and start permanent border conflict in Donbas so that the Ukraine would never be accepted into NATO.
