You can blog as much as you like but the simple truth is that the US and the EU have been tested by the 'inferior' Russians and have been found wanting. So you don't have an argument.

Recently I blogged about the power balance between the Russians and the EU; the Russians are inferior in conventional military strength (and very much so in their Western Military District; massing a couple ten thousand troops was treated as a huge deal in the media, but that's about all they're actually capable of in the short term!).

Such facts don't help, though: There are gazillions of "Europeans cannot fight their way out of a wet paper bag" blokes around.

You've never prepared enough in their world. It's always more, more, more - because they have no concept of how much is right - they always think "more" is right.
