Russia has an army that is capable of invading another country. The only country in NATO that have done that is the US. I don't think Russia invading the whole of the EU is a realistic possibility but grabbing a few ex Soviet countries off the border...

You're right, let me rephrase that. The US is the only NATO country with living experience in invading non-neighboring countries with current methods, doctrines and technologies. That's not a simple thing to do and that know-how is extremely valuable if you want to invade someone else.

The UK has invaded several countries alongside the US.

You are still talking nonsense.

methods aside. Tiny UK is pretty impressive actually when you think about it, they "united" so many countries all over the globe across the ocean. If only they have treated the people better.

I quite like this video over what Brits contributed to the modern world. Most people don't know. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcZQS4LBugk

Also UK returned most of their colonies back to the people unlike some huge countries like russia which is still trying to expand its colonies and territories in this modern day and age.
