1. Russia doesn’t need to make it into Germany to make it a disaster for all of Europe.

2. Sure, NATO as a whole is bigger than Russia, but the troops and equipment are mostly not at the eastern border where the fighting would take place. We certainly don’t have anything near the size of the Ukrainian army stationed in the Baltics. Take the US out of the equation, because let’s be honest: under Trump they’re not going to stand up for Europe, and the military balance suddenly looks a lot less favorable. I’m not so sure the European NATO states could mount an effective and timely response to an incursion into the Baltic states, or into Poland around the Suwalki gap.

PC gamer no longer means tech savvy. My zoomer stepson is a hardcore gamer but can’t figure out shit when something’s wrong with his computer, and does not understand basic concepts regarding hardware, operating systems, networking, … and he doesn’t seem to care about any of it either.

Basically: Si vis pacem, para bellum
