Russia is at war with Europe.
Europe is not yet at war with Russia but it will be in time.

We've been dependent on the US for this but this was also by the US' own design. They didn't want many countries to have nukes. So the whole 'Europe is not doing its bit' is not really justified.
We don't need more tanks and soldiers because if we go at Russia like Ukraine does, so many people will die that it doesn't matter who wins. We just need to be able to destroy Russia so thoroughly that they won't think about attacking us, just like they don't attack the US. Mutually assured destruction has kept the world safe for almost a century but now with the US no longer committed to NATO we just need to build our own.
Europe already has a nuclear deterrent.
And Europa has some deterrent but nothing compared to the Russian one. We have a major 'missile gap' right now.
This is not true. UK and FR have them (probably not enough though). UK/FR definitely wouldn't retaliate if Berlin or Warsaw were to be hit by a RU nuke.
On the Russian side however they are carrying out brazen attacks in EU member states and crossing air and maritime boundaries.
Whether the EU should respond in kind is a whole other question.
Yet again.
