Just for fun, checked it out, and comparison of NATO vs. Russia militaries:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/...ry-comparison/
NATO has 5.4 million soldiers versus Russia's 1.3 million. NATO has 20,700 aircraft versus Russia's 4700. I guess Russia does happen to have more tanks than NATO, but considering we now know that Russian military communication technology relies on stolen cell phones from Ukrainian civilians, and Russian generals have to head to the front lines to see what's happening, then, yeah...
Plus both Finland and Sweden have very capable militaries, and looks like they'll be shortly added to those numbers. And that's just NATO, and excludes the various other Western allies we can rely on including folks such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and more.
China will never back Russia militarily in a fight. China knows full well that it economically implodes without the West, and they've already seen the sanctions the West levied onto Russia. In a week Russia became the most sanctioned country in history, and China isn't going to risk the same fate. Plus look at the news, and China is already struggling with a myriad of its own economic woes. They want nothing more than for this war to go away, so they can get back to business as usual.
Sure Russia has nukes, but so does the West. We called their bluff back during the cold war, and looks like we're going to have to do it again. At any given moment, the US has three nuclear submarines floating around each armed with a dozen triple tipped Trident nuclear missiles, ready to hit any location on the globe. If a pleb like me knows this, then I'm sure the Russian military does as well.
Not to mention other cool shit like in the West, we actually provide our soldiers with food.
