Yes, but they would be needed to spread out all the way from Finland to Romania, and many equipment parts need to be refurbished before they can be deployed. It thus would take some time before they would really get to full power.

But I agree, that would be suicide for Russia, even without NATO. It would just take a while to get to that point where Russia gets hopelessly outmatched.

If you think Russia could engage along a front of that size all at once, I've got a bridge to sell you.

No, of course I don't think they could. But they would have to if they attacked a member of the EU.
