What non-NATO European country are they going to invade (and hold!) as a bargaining chip?

Any how many of those tanks go straight to Ukraine? Do you think Russia can afford to stockpile tanks (and everything else necessary) for several years for an invasion of Europe while simultaneously engaged in the their current war in Ukraine?

This doesn't mean that they will invoke Article 5.

Multiple NATO countries should invoke Article 4 of NATO already, but they don't.
