Russia's Potential to Launch a Full-Scale War in Europe - Good Times Bad Times (The 20s Report)



The video is based upon a Danish report examines whether Russia would have the ability to attack Europe within a five-year timeframe which is also the same timeframe that European industry can ramp up its own war capacity. While Russia could maintain the wartime industrial capacity it would have a negative economic impact since the factories aren't providing any production for consumers or for export. It would also cost a significant amount to maintain force levels near 1.5 million soldiers. The impact of sanctions and population demographics will also provide deterrents against further attacks against Europe. - TxT

Not saying that Europe should not invest in their defense building. They should and do.

Russia is not going to attack France or risk MAD (France has 290 nukes with 280 warheads deployed) and if they do, with what's left of their ridiculous army getting decimated by Ukraine's cardboard-box drones!

Not even sure their 5,500 nukes are in a well-maintained state...
