Subject: Re: war with Denmark or Panama??
You keep looking at just Germany. The combined countries of Europe have between them about 5,000 tanks, give or take (though that's pre-Ukraine; I expect some have been sold to them). That's roughly the same number that the U.S. has.

Here's NATO's tank strength, largely confined to...the US, Turkey and Greece.

Note that this isn't the number of combat ready tanks (that's much smaller).

What that means is that Russia does not, and never will, have much of a navy to speak of - but they always will have a massive army on their Western Front, because there is zero geography to protect them from invasion from the West. And that's why Europe's defenses don't really have a major naval component, and why their tank divisions are mostly in Poland (because the Carpathians basically channel any mechanized divisions through Poland if they want to reach Europe).

Huh? You're aware that the Russians have traditionally had a large submarine force, right?
