The Europeans could defeat Russia on their own, but why would they?
Do you think that Obama is going to withdraw our troops and our NATO membership in the next 2 years? Instead he has moved troops forward and we have been doing military exercises in Ukraine itself, and of course Poland.
Our NATO alliance goes beyond Obama and especially in these last 2 years of his time.
Where does this idea that Russia and it’s 140 million people are a match for the combined forces of the West come from?
You did not answer my question. Without the will, I don't see the major Euro NATO players going aggressive on Putin's Russia. I don't see Barry doing it either because he wants to “lead from the rear” as most cowards do. If the Russian Bear moved on the Ukraine, I don't think the U.S. or Euros would fight (even though they've said they would). I would not count on Barack Obozo to lead the charge either. He talks big and then tries to weasel out. Both Obozo and Putin are communists, however Putin is ex-KGB and Obozo is a community organizer. Who'd you want on your side in a fight -- Ex-KGB or a community organizer?
