Europe

In the West’s Afghanistan campaign, for example, America, Britain and Canada bore the brunt of the 3,500 casualties, while most European participant nations lost 50 or less.

I see, I see, which side won that war again?

And the Afghanistan campaign was against scattered goatherders. And if that's not the fairest comparison to the Taliban- true, and they deserve more credit for their effective anti-colonial effort; but compared to Russia on its home turf, it may as well have been hapless goatherders the west was up against in Afghanistan.

The Euros have another thing coming if they think they can waltz in with superiority in air, armor, munitions, tech, etc... Russia will bleed them dry and then finally discard the Europeans' pretensions of remaining great powers like a used condom in the dustbin of history.
