A credible European deterrent – one that could prevent, for instance, a rapid Russian incursion in the Baltics – would need a minimum of 1,400 tanks, 2,000 infantry fighting vehicles, and 700 artillery pieces. This is more combat power than currently exists in the combined French, German, Italian, and British land forces.
@jlh@lemmy.jlh.name Nah, you’re trying to redefine the narrative. It won’t work, people are wising up to your B$! Wikipedia is wrong Europe doesn’t have the troop strength, and even if they did , would have nothing to fight with! Deluded… Perhaps you should visit a psychiatrist. LMAO
Europe easily has the troop strength, we have in peacetime 3-4 times Russia’s capacity at wartime. Where it’s lacking is special strategic capabilities like AWACS planes, strategic bombers and satellites.

You live in a dreamland. Don’t take Wikipedia’s numbers as accurate. None of the EU militaries can send troops into a battle in any substantial numbers. Why do you think everyone in power is freaking out, FFS! Delusional.
