In a recent interview with Moscow's state-run Russia-1, a clip of which circulated widely on social media Saturday, the newly appointed Colonel-General Andrey Mordvichev said that the war "will not stop here [in Ukraine]."

"If we are talking about Eastern Europe, which we will have to, of course then [the war] will be longer," he added.

NATO has 500,000 active troops, and the largest Navy and Air Force in the world. Ain't happening, sweetheart. Especially since Ukraine has taken 50% of the Russian combat capabilities.

Actually NATO has ~3.7 million active troops and another 3.7 million in reserve, which definitely doesn't turn things in Russia's favor.

Maybe they meant 500k active troops in eastern Europe?

Not sure how many are stationed directly in Russias way
