Russia poses a clear threat to Europe, having attacked Ukraine and threatened Georgia, Poland, and the Baltic nations. Amidst calls for increased military spending in Europe and NATO labeling Russia a long-term threat, analysts note that despite its nuclear power and vast resources, Russia is weakened. Over one million Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded, and its economy is in decline. Experts suggest that launching a large-scale attack on NATO countries is currently unfavorable for Russia, as they are bogged down in Ukraine.
"Wishful thinking will not keep us safe. We cannot dream away the danger."
"To launch a large-scale conventional armed incursion into a NATO country is not something Russia would want to do today."
