It is not stupid.
Kaliningrad is a small city surrounded with Polish tank regiments just in case of such scenario.
Defending a long front is much harder.
> Any military conflict with EU would be an economical collapse of Russia.
Russia had already been in the perpetual collapsing state economically since the end of sky high oil prices. Russian regime doesn't seem to mind at all its people eating grass.
Russian military goal was, and is to invade Europe. Georgia, Ukraine, Syria, Montenegro, Libya were all parts of the chain leading to it. It is undisputable.
That's what military does. They have free time so they make plans for all occasions.
Military is not government.
> Kaliningrad is a small city surrounded with Polish tank regiments just in case of such scenario.
And what else would you propose they do. Of course they will place them there, that doesn't mean threat of invasion is high.
> Russian regime doesn't seem to mind at all its people eating grass.
That's not how it works. Putin is not a moron and he clearly tries to create image of powerful imperial russia. Its a show for the 'people eating grass' because if too many of them start complaining he will loose power.
It is so exactly because those guys are being deterred by Polish tank divisions. They see their big, scary guns, and tremble in fear.
Poland is all flat land. It is very vulnerable to tank armies. If that deterrence wasn't there, Poland would've been invaded by Russians.
The Kremlin seeing it all well, and Putin having not the worst military education himself, know they have very little chance to mount a direct attack.
This is exactly why they've been working on the "Southern Route" for more than a decade. They want to attack Europe from its soft Southern underbelly.
> It is so exactly because those guys are being deterred by Polish tank divisions
I am lost for words if that is not a troll.
The Polish Armed Forces consist of 117,800 active duty
The Russian Armed Forces consist of 900,000 active duty
Thats just headcounts, not to mention the tech.
If russia wanted to invade poland they could do it within days.
Reading your replay again I think you are actually serious... and I have more important things to do, like banging my head against a brick wall.

This whole rhetoric of scary Russian tanks and missiles ready to attack is stupid.
Russian needs europe to sell its oil and gas to and get luxury goods and food from. Do you think their chinese friends would approve? EU is third economical block in the world China would take a hit not able to trade with EU as freely if there is a war with russia.
Any military conflict with EU would be an economical collapse of Russia. So let's stop scaring people with this pale faded red scare.
