No they don't. There will be remains of Russia left after FR+UK are finished. Inversely not. MAD means exactly that. Conventionally Europe mainly needs to increase Ammo. But the problem is that most European Countries might refrain from defending the Baltics or Poland for fear of receiving a Nuke on their capital without the ability or assurance of a similar counter strike on Moscow or St- Pete. All the ammo or tanks in the world amount to nothing if they are not used for fear of extinction without ability to counter. What do you think why Scholz is draggig his feet so much. Berlin is in striking distance of a tactical nuke on a ballistic Iskander or Kinzhal fired from Kaliningrad. With little means to defend against. And nothing to retaliate. What would stop good ol' Vlad from nuking Berlin? The following sanctions? His humanity? His good manors? What else?
