If we exclude number of nukes, because if they become the main factor of a war everyone loses, Europe (EU+UK) has more active military… everything… than Russia and China. In most metrics Europe surpasses the US, and if we include Ukraine then it surpasses the US in everything except spending.
The only thing holding Europe back is Europe. If our politicians get their shit together and put their national egos aside for a bit, then the only thing we need from the US is for them to get the fuck out of Europe.

What would happen if Europe joins the war though? Who would join Russia? China? India?
North Korea is already involved but for some reason that didn’t get Europe involved and there must be a reason why.
