Some would say the idea of Russia using threats of nuclear war as the real proof that Russia is weak and could not afford a conventional war. Yet the majority of articles and information out there will have everyone believ Russia has great numbers of tanks and military logistics to easily crush NATO and thier tanks could reach all of Europe in 6 days yada yada But the real truth of the matter is Russia is very afraid of a conventional war because hypothetically once it exhausts if military against a War with the west what is stopping China from invading thier oil rich areas in the west??? Just saying
Meant to say *east
