The risk level for a land war across Western Europe is probably the lowest it has ever been.

The balance of power is tilted against Russia much more than during the Cold War. That threat does not stand the most basic scrutiny. Russia couldn't reach Western Europe if they tried. Claims that it is the worst since WWII conveniently ignore the Cold War and even the 90s. Western Europe is better off now.

It is incredible the amount of BS we are spoon-fed by the media and governments in Europe... but perhaps even more worrying is how docile the people are and just eat it.

The good question is: what is the ulterior motive of the alarmists?

Yes, we are much stronger than they, but once we decide to actually have a war with them some difficulties will arise. They do have some useful weapons which will have effects on us, so we'll have to be ready so that disruption is not excessive.

My view has been that we should be going in, bombing the Russian positions in Ukraine with stand-off weapons, bombing war-relevant infrastructure in Russia and going in where they don't have forces to oppose us-- seizing ships at sea. I'd like to see the Russian Baltic fleet sunk. It'd like to see parts of the Russian Northern Fleet sunk.

I'd also like to see a surrender of Kaliningrad forced by means of blockade.

If we want to do things like this we have prepare a bit.

>> Russia started open war against neighboring European country

>> Russia openly subjugated Belarus

>> Russian jets, drones and war ships routinely enter NATO without any response

> Urop has never been safer than this, comrades! No reason for panic at all!

> The balance of power is tilted against Russia much more than during the Cold War.

That's exactly why the full scale war is going to happen. There wasn't any better time to deal with russia than it is now.
