How Great Would It Be if Russia Conquers the Entire Europe

I imagine the absurdity of Russia conquering the entirety of Europe. It would indeed be a grand spectacle, but one rife with issues and challenges.

The idea is both humorous and chilling: can Russia sustain the mass feeding of millions of so-called 'idiots'? Surely, the ignorance of leaving Europe in its current state of decline is a more viable option, as it would keep the continent in a slow, inescapable decay.

Russia's Endgame and Overextension

Given Russia's overextended military might, its failure is practically guaranteed. If Europe were allowed to rot due to its own internal issues, it would provide a more extended period for the continent to descend further into decay. This includes a lack of governance, economic collapse, and societal disintegration, leading to a self-inflicted scenario without any external interference.

The Reality of Conquest

Despite the hypothetical allure of such an eventuality, the truth is far less glamorous. Russia's current state, with its depleted military and struggling economy, makes it an implausible contender for conquest. A major victory would require a completely different entity altogether, one free from the corruption that plagues Russia today.

A Hypothetical Scenario

Imagine Russia with a super-soldier-like capability, as portrayed in popular media. Even then, the chances of such a force successfully wiping out the European Union or its affiliated nations are virtually zero. The EU's member states, with their combined military might from NATO members, would provide a formidable resistance.

The US and NATO's Role

In the hypothetical scenario where the US and NATO are absent, Russia's chances slightly improve. But even then, conquering an entire continent is a monumental and unrealistic feat. The fall of Russia as a military power would be imminent.

The Aftermath and Decline

If Russia were to steal a march on its European adversaries, its reign would be brief and chaotic. The values and prosperity that many European nations have built would be systematically broken down, much like the USSR did after World War II in Eastern Europe. This would lead to further economic and social decline for Russia and its allies.

Conclusion and Current Reality

As it stands, Russia has barely enough forces to protect itself, let alone launch an attack on any NATO country. A year of unsuccessful war efforts in Ukraine has severely depleted its military resources. Furthermore, the potential for foreign intervention, especially from the US and its allies, would ensure Russia's downfall in such a war.
