It depends. In a conventional war we’d win. Nuclear, nobody wins. Just who lives longest to die last.
I’m not so sure there is any such thing as a European force. They’d simply let us die for them and then call us murderers. They have no real will to survive.
Russian troops were greatly overrated during the Cold War.
It was mainly the fear of Russian nukes and the congenital lack of courage of the western Left and the Democrats in the U.S. that stopped us from taking a stronger hand with them until Reagan took over.

“Even the European Union, which is to hold a summit next month, has downgraded its most likely response to the Russian military presence in Georgia from deploying peacekeepers to sending observers.”
But would the Europeans fight? They don’t seem that eager to toe the line.
