re: Should Merica continue to "protect" NATO allies that cut defense spending?

Nope

No they are violating the agreement

Timmy will be just fine fighting the next war. Susie on the other hand has zero business serving in the military.

You realize Timmy is a genetic female who identifies as a male and Susie was born a male but had his penis cut off and now claims to be a genderfluid dragonkin, right? Neither should be in the military.

You could combine the entirety of of all three countries land forces and you'd barely have one full strength army corps. Even if you add in reserves you'd maybe be able to scrape together another Corps sized unit.

If Russia massed their forces and struck west, they'd be in Paris before anyone could do more than lodge a formal complaint at the UN.

C'mon bro... I respect your background and have loved discussing military topics with you in the past but that's a little too bleak

If Russia massed their forces here's what would happen

They'd have to mass their forces in Belarus as a direct invasion through Ukraine would ween down their forces before ever approaching Poland. The Baltic states have been preparing for a guerilla style war against Russia for a decade

Russian forces would penetrate as far as the countryside of Poland before their supply lines are cutoff by NATO airstrikes

Should Russia reach Germany:

Everyone knows that the Russians heavily rely on armor. The Germans have planned for a Russian invasion for more than 75 years. they would have countermeasures in place to make the Russians pay for every step they took within their borders with lightweight antiarmor being a focal point of their defense.

This isn't the Cold War. Russia doesn't have an Eastern European Bloc they could stage equipment. Prior to 1993 they already owned 50% of Europe but now they would have to march their army across the entire continent.

A Russian invasion would look much like the Battle of The Bulge. A deep pentetration behind lines before eventually being surrounded and swallowed up by a mobile counterattack.

NATO is obsolete. It was the continuation of a very necessary alliance in the face of a new threat from post-war Soviet aggression. That alliance is 2 generations old and has devolved into nothing more than a continent-wide, military "wealth" redistribution program from the U.S. to their NATO allies, with little (or nothing) in return.

No! Its stupid as a matter of fact I think we pay Denmarks military budget?
