  2. Several problems. Europe has no people to fight. Europeans in polls usually say they won't fight for their country. The armies are small. Secondly Europe does not have many arms. And ammo is running out. Finally Europe has no significant nuclear deterrent. UK and France have a deterrent but neither UK nor France will want to sacrifice London or Paris for Warsaw or Berlin. Europe also has no tactical nuclear means. America has a limited tactical nuclear arsenal but less so than Russia. The Russians can, as Bartosiak says, can escalate to descalate. They could fire off a tactical nuke. What will the West do? Tactical nuke capability is limited. The Russians could escalate which may bring the West to back down.
