It definitely can. The U.S. currently has only 20 Army BCTs rated as combat ready; it took 23 to do Iraq back in '03. Our European allies, meanwhile, have for example, been reduced to just four functioning fighters in the case of the Luftwaffe and have had to suspend rifle training in the case of the Dutch due to a lack of ammunition. This just the bare bones, meanwhile the Russians demonstrated last year they could successfully organize and carry out operations of up to 100,000 men. They've also taken the lead in certain sectors, especially artillery and AA defenses, as well as in the nuclear arena.
You realise that the core of NATO is America, right? Europe’s main job is to stop the Russians getting to France until the US shows up.
Hence why I started off with the Americans; the United States has nothing to send over.
