      Russia has an army that is capable of invading another country. The only country in NATO that have done that is the US. I don’t think Russia invading the whole of the EU is a realistic possibility but grabbing a few ex Soviet countries off the border…

          You’re right, let me rephrase that. The US is the only NATO country with living experience in invading non-neighboring countries with current methods, doctrines and technologies. That’s not a simple thing to do and that know-how is extremely valuable if you want to invade someone else.

          methods aside. Tiny UK is pretty impressive actually when you think about it, they “united” so many countries all over the globe across the ocean.

              Also UK returned most of their colonies back to the people unlike some huge countries like russia which is still trying to expand its colonies and territories in this modern day and age. and other huge countries making claims on Greenland or Taiwan.

        As I said I am pretty sure they can’t even properly invade ukraine and are struggling there.

        The only country in NATO that have done that is the US.

        I am not an expert on this but I am pretty sure a bunch of EU countries joined the US in afghanistan.
