Russia is 144 million people who spend 7 percent of GDP on military — most of which gets continuously destroyed in the Ukraine war.

NATO is a coalition of 973 million people who will now spend 5 percent of GDP on increasing it's military — while not at war.

Only a madman would think those odds are in Russia's favor.

@randahl in Russia that is 7 % from 14000 USD GDP per capita. Eu has 44000 per capita and us has 80000 per capita. So the difference is even bigger.
