The idea that NATO is going to make their RRF from 40k to 300K any time soon (or ever) is hilarious. Besides the USA, the two largest armies are Turkey and France. Does NATO actually expect Turkey to fulfill its obligations? Would Turkey actually fight with NATO against Russia? The same question applies to France to a lesser degree; they seem to be content in rebuilding their African empire. As it is, Germany can barely deploy a platoon across the road. The remainder either have armies with badly outdated equipment or armies that are oriented heavily towards light infantry forces that would be butchered by heavy Russian units. That leaves the UK; even the entire UK military is not large enough to make up the 260K deficit.

All this is rather moot as NATO is utterly dependent upon USA logistics which are largely on the other side of the Atlantic ocean and I would not be surprised if Russia has more than a few surprises to keep those logistics bottled up there.
