    Poland is a major supply hub and has lost plenty of boots on the ground. Art 5 isn’t automatic. US won’t risk nuking for expendables. All Europe is expendable.

      Europe has nukes, and an industrial capacity that dwarfs Russia multiple times over and is roughly equal to the US.

      Russia has about as much chance attacking Europe as Japan would attacking China on their own.

      Also without Europe, the US has no capacity to develop semiconductors better than what Russia has. In the extremely unlikely event Europe falls to Russia, the US will not be far behind.
