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!

History means nothing at this point. And in terms of strength, right now Russia has more strength closer to the Ukraine in terms of ground forces, in terms of Naval Forces, the American's have a marked advantage, but it evens out slightly due to location and geographic size.
In terms of air power, the American's have a edge, but I don't think that either side would have the capability to own the size.
On top of that, when I look at sheer leadership right now, I take the resolve and decisiveness of Putin over Nato leadership.
