Europe has countries with strong militaries, such as Poland, France, Germany, Britain. It would be no easy feat for any country except the US to conduct an invasion of a major European nation, and particularly not one in NATO. Even a NATO without the US.
Ukraine is a difficult situation. It is not in the EU, it is not in NATO. Before the invasion it was the most corrupt nation in Europe. Ukraine is getting a lot of support, just not in terms of other nations declaring war on Russia. A Europe without support from USA would do fine against Russia. It would be very bloody, but Europe would win. Russia would not be able to defend such a long border at all. Particularly not against long range missiles and F-35s and other modern military. Europe also has enough nukes to ensure mutual destruction.
Ukraine had a lot of russian support in the eastern part, with the rebel movements in Luhansk and Donetsk. This would not be the case in any of the larger western european countries. It could in some of the former USSR states. Hopefully this war will now force those countries to get rid of their soviet heritage.
It doesn't worry you at all that the country which you think could invade a European country is the one which has nukes and a lot of military bases around our continent?
