You are seriously claiming that Europeans would not fight for their freedom in such a scenario ?
And the point where we disagree is the economy. Russia would flush its own down the toilet should it attack western Europe, even left the US out of the question.
What purpose would such an attack have by the way ?
And that Russias army would be capable of defeating ALL western european militaries, among them nuclear powers like France and Britain also rather seems science fiction to me. The military option does not exist in Europe anymore, for nobody.

B... b... but where will all the jobs come from if the EU doesn't increase military spending, especially in a recession. Nothing like a good war to get the money flowing again.
