Tornado Alley (PROG)

You're pulling it ALL out of your ass. Like the U.S. NATO replenishes their weapons and ammunition from their factories, with newer versions of the weapons shipped. NATO would be defending. You've seen how costly it has been for Russia on the attack against Ukraine; their weapons are shit and their soldiers are worse.

Russia would lose a war with NATO, Poland warns

“It is not we, the West, who should fear a clash with Putin, but the other way around,” Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said.

A war between Vladimir Putin's Russia and NATO would end with Moscow's “inevitable defeat,” Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said Thursday.

"It is not we, the West, who should fear a clash with Putin, but the other way around,” Sikorski said during a speech to the Sejm, the lower house of Poland's parliament. “It is worth reminding about this, not to increase the sense of threat in the Russians, because NATO is a defensive pact, but to show that an attack by Russia on any of the members of the Alliance would end in its [Russia's] inevitable defeat.”

Sikorski, who was laying out Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s vision for the new government's foreign policy, said Russia’s military and economic potential “pales in comparison to that of the West,” as NATO has three times as many military personnel, three times the aerial resources and four times as many ships as Russia.

"Putin's only hope is our lack of determination," he warned.

Poland is fast turning into a defense heavyweight, and the world's 14th largest military spender, after raising its expenditure a whopping 75 percent between 2022 and 2023 to $31.6 billion, according to data released this week by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
