Taken as a whole though, the combined EU militaries would pretty clearly outmatch the Russians. The question is whether the euros could play nice, unify leadership and integrate enough to fight as a cohesive force.

    That said, I don't seriously think the Russians are currently in a spot to make a run on the fulda gap. They'd get about as far as Poland before they got their peepee slapped good, but I don't think they're dumb enough to try that. They've developed some really nice toys lately but they don't have the money to field them in any large scale numbers currently. There are some areas they could give us real trouble (ie. artillery, the vast majority of their tube and mlrs systems outrange ours) but overall I think currently the most they would try to bite off is limited interventions like in syria or meddling in neighboring countries a la ukraine. One thing I'll give them credit for is they seem to be using their recent combat experience very well to fine tune their military for a real fight and work the bugs out.

    Their AA platforms are also cause for concern. I don’t expect them to make large maneuvers and annex entire countries, what I was talking about happens over time. They’ve been successful enough so far.

    Is this like a rap battle? Can we expect an answer from the Armenian pop stars? Cringeworthy is too nice a term for this.

    For what it's worth, The Caspian Report is one of my favorite geopolitical analysis YouTube channels. Here are links to a few of his videos on the subject. Note: I seem to recall Shirvan is Azerbaijani.
