Any troops there are more of the light variety which get chewed up in great numbers in a modern battlefield.

The American's and other allies would have to build up and bring over heavy formations and specialized units and that's going to take some time, and its something that the Russians have probably planned around denying or thinning out.
History is on the American/European side. Russia is not as strong as it makes itself out to be anymore. The population is in decline. They do not have the money the US and Europe do to spend on defense. Pound for pound, the Germans, British, Canadians, Americans, Australians, and French were much better fighters than the Russians.

It would not take long for the Americans to build up strategic military bases in Germany, UK, and France. And the Jets just scored. Jokinen!
