We financed the Soviets during WW2 lol.Yeah, doesn't look like the brutal and efficient Red Army anymore, they look like a B-tier regional power with a lot of problems. Which is what they are.
This may be slightly deceptive, because they don't seem to be sending their best and they've also had their hands tied by their own ROE (the Soviets would just have flattened cities and murdered all resistance by now), and most Euro armies are weak, with low morale and poor availability of critical planes and ships.
But it's not completely deceptive. There's about zero chance they could defeat Nato, even if they didn't simply get nuked. Poland by itself would be a huge problem for Russia, and of course it wouldn't be by itself. They'd have a posse including late-gen Leopard and M1 Abrams tanks, Typhoon, Rafale and F-35 fighters, tons of artillery, cruise missiles and specialized anti-armor weapons like Brimstone, and the US, UK, French, Spanish, Turkish, Swedish, Dutch, Danish and Italian navies hunting down and sinking any Russian surface or subsurface vessel that tried sneaking out of the Baltic or Black seas. That's why they're paranoid about Nato.
Fulda Gap is closed permanently, if we're gonna have Cold War 2 it's going to be a low budget crappy remake of the original with occasional nuclear cock teasing.
Though the Russians did flatten Chechnya in the 1990s and lost.
The thing about blowing shit up, is that you create rubble for your enemies to hide in.
The only time it makes sense to do Dresden is to show the enemy population that they are fully fucked and we just going to kill all of you for the lulz, we have no plans to go into Dresden, just blow it to shit because fuck you. That is why.
Whereas Putin was around for their adventures in Afghanistan and knows how much killing civies led to hell for the Red Army. He does not want too much bad blood.
