    Of course they don’t. NATO was never planning on fighting in an actual war with an enemy that can fight back.

      I just don’t think that’s true, considering the history. I think it’s just all their plans are, at best, for fighting 80s soviet russia and haven’t been updated since

        NATO plans against USSR were mostly about nuking everything that moved and bombing whatever still moved after. There wasn’t really much direct fighting involved.
