    Like I said, Russia won’t win, they probably wouldn’t hurt us as much as we would hurt them. But they WOULD hurt us.

    That’s true for any country. Additionally Russia could even anhilate us with their nuclear weapons. Yet do we have to worry as much and pay as much for defence as our politicians tell us to do? At least the EU starts to publish some numbers.

      Yes, but Russia is the only one who has shown they’re extremely likely to do so.

      Well if I could predict the future, I would be really stinking rich, and many poor people would be less poor. Unfortunately, here we are.

        has shown they’re extremely likely to do so.

        What are the signs that it is extremely likely?

        Well if I could predict the future

        We make the future if we spend on arms instead of health, renewable energy and education. If the risk is overstated it costs lives, just not on the battlefield.
