    Russia has already ground through much of its resources in Ukraine and it’s not making meaningful advances. It doesn’t have the resources to attack other nations on top of that.

    And European countries could easily cripple the Russian war machine with precision strikes, hit major resource production centers, infrastructure, etc.
