> I am highly skeptical of the idea that Russia is likely to invade other countries in Europe Why? They said it's their goal and what they are constantly threatening... Russians have also been arrested spying with drones in Scandinavia, they sabotaged a pipeline and trains in Germany, etc.. They might not be currently capable BECAUSE we're arming Ukraine but there's no reason to believe they wouldn't if they could... And if we let up it just means they re-arm and invade later...

The botched invasion of Ukraine by Russia shows that it was never capable of successfully invading a NATO country (though we hardly needed the example to know this). It is conventionally outmatched by NATO and you cannot take a country using nukes. With Sweden/Finland joining NATO, there is no candidate for a successful invasion except possibly the one I mentioned (Moldova).
