European intelligence suggests that Russia may launch an attack on Europe during the winter of 2024-2025 if the United States finds itself “without a leader” following the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the German tabloid Bild reported on Dec. 23, citing an anonymous European intelligence source.
I can not imagine the US supporting Russia directly. I can hardly imagine them not supporting EU in a war against Russia but even if that happens I can’t imagine Russia being able to spread their focus across multiple targets, especially targets that activelly can be defended by other nato allies
Also, Russia is a large landmass, but 1/6th the population of the EU, most of their population is centered in a few large cities.
And compared to the EU, even before losing a ton of gear in their venture into Ukraine, they are hilariously outdated and underequiped.
