This only addresses your spending comment, not specific advantages/disadvantages in military might. That being said, if France/Germany/UK teamed up, they could take on anyone even without our help (outside of China).
100% correct. if you add the top 10 nato european countries they would destroy any country not named the US or China.
French and Uk are the best militaries in Europe (this includes russian).
russian training and readiness is horrible and only thing worse is their maintenance program.

So far the Russians are having faster progress in a more prepared powerful country then the Americans did in Iraq, so what is exactly bad? Oh yeah, I’m guessing the USA didn’t “lose” in Afghanistan either.
Iraq is half a world away and not on our border
Iraq has harsher terrain
We don't speak the language
Baghdad is ~250 miles from the border, Kiev is ~50
We only lost about 150 men in the invasion
The Iraqis armor regiments didn't run out of fuel or break down on their way to the front

It is amazing that these traits seem almost cultural at this point. Russia has had these exact same issues in every conflict they have fought for the last 300+ years.

But would some Ukrainian heave a shot across the border with some captured Russian armament? Then it’s on like Donkey Kong.
Would it though? You think Biden would honor a treaty that puts him at war? Dude has no honor. He isn’t fit to be a war time president and he knows it. And the cumdumpster Harris isn’t any better.
If war in Europe becomes a reality the best thing the US could done would be to miss the 1st 4-5 years of active involvement and get out shite together. We would need the time to the military complex on a war footing and elect some folks with the stomach for a war.

Germany and Japan are rapidly re-militarizing because of China and Russia. Anybody remember how effective those two were in 1940? It took Russia, the US and almost everybody else to defeat them. Now, they’re on our side. It’s all good.

There are certain groups of people who want us in a war with Russia because it benefits them financially. Don’t Be fooled by their rhetoric. Have we found those WMDs in Iraq yet?
Had a friend who was a colonel over in Iraq years ago. Interestingly, one of the things they DID find was airplanes the French had illegally sold to them. Even though an ally, we apparently reverse-engineered those planes and never made mention of it.
The planes were buried underneath mountains of sand in a bunker and only found through interrogations (that we no longer use because of wokeness).

When pushed, though, they put up a hell of a defense. They're great counterpunchers, too.

utin/Russia can't be dumb enough to attack Poland. It's what started the last World War. Russia cannot take on NATO without help from the Chinese. If China joins the war well it's been good shite posting with you all.
Will trigger Article 5 and will spell the end of Putin

What does that have to do with assisting Russia militarily in Europe?
Have you heard that the U.S. has a west coast facing the Pacific and it has Alaska and Hawii too as well as Pacific islands.

Haha they are having trouble with the Ukrainians. Do you think they want to pull in NATO whose air assets alone would destroy all that armor they have pulled down into centrally located areas.

So idiot Biden gives the Ukranians Fighter Jets and this regional conflict goes global. I leave it to your imagination what that global conflict would look like. Hint: stock up on iodine pills.
Ah yes. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences. So to all you Biden groupies out there this is for you.....
Bad Boy! Bad Boy!
what ya gonna do
when Vald's nukes
rain down on you.
Bad Boy! Bad Boy!
.....but but but Donald Trump is a meany!

So your implication is that China would be able to militarily assist Russia in Europe by attacking the US West Coast or Hawaii/Guam?
What planet do you guys live on? China is not capable of that. They don't have the navy or air power to do a damned thing outside of the China seas.

China would have to take the Philippines and Japan befor they attack the west coast.
Otherwise they are sitting ducks floating around on the Pacific between the US and Japan

PT on Russian capabilities;
"They suck and Ukraine will likely beat them."
Also;
"They're going to attack NATO!"

Until the MIG debacle Poland wanted all the smoke, they were going out of their way to let Russia know it was their shite killing Russians

NATO has next to no military power except for the USA. Poland only has 60,000 in their army so that won’t stop much. The German commanding general admitted last week Germany is weak.
Well, I guess it's a good thing NATO isn't comprised of only Poland, Germany and the US huh?
France and the UK have done some heavy lifting with us in the Middle East over the past 20 years. The Nordic countries may be small, but have better tech and are better trained than the Russians. Turkey is legit.
You're high as a kite if you think NATO wouldn't wax the Russians all over Europe.

And the reality is that they cannot do either of those things either. China, for the moment, still lacks the ability to project power anywhere outside its territorial sea.
