Ah yes, like all the people chanting "Christmas in Paris" or "Christmas in Berlin" when they entered the cattle wagons that brought them to the front and then ended up crying and peeing in their pants in a trench.
Such is the value of being ready and willing to go to war.

Actually Sub, I hate to break it to you, but the fairy tale of nuclear apocalypse is just that...a fairy tale. What good does it do Russia to nuke Europe into a desert? Nothing. Russia would only gain something by conquering and occupying Europe. Also, if there is non-lethal, but dangerous nuclear fall-out blowing everywhere, how would they move their own (limited) troops in to occupy Europe and mop up? Get real.
How about you get real and tell us what good it does Russia to invade Europe in the first place?
What do we have that they can't get much easier through peaceful means while they collect all our money by selling us gas?
