    What?

    Population means very little when we have to fight tanks, boats, planes and missiles.

    We have few military weapons outside of military bases, the US only needs to take control of a few bases to cripple us

      Those things cant automatically teleport to european soil. Aircraft carriers can only do so much and they also cant teleport. Numbers are still relevant, especially when backed by existing european military. Morale is also relevant.

      Europe is a giant place, with shitload of people, that have a strong desire to defend against invaders. Look what happened to Vietnam or Ukraine. As long as you have a large enough group of people, with decent equipment and morale, you can do great things.

        You do know that the US maintains a supply of tanks and equippent in many countries on their bases the world over?

        If you have one tank, it is easier to get another one.

            We absolutely do have tanks, really good tanks, but we don’t have recent combat experience with using them, sure we have run exercises with them, but the US have active combat experience using their tanks.
