> If the Russians are so weak and incompetent then why is nearly every European country doubling their military expenditures? Even being not very good at war they've been able to do a lot of damage and war crimes. Plus, some of those countries have had pretty terrible militaries themselves; the head of the German army admittedly recently that their capability as a fighting force is very limited. A lot of Europe was basically coasting militarily because they thought war in Europe was over forever.
