Yeah this is wishful thinking. This is the kind of thinking that has involved people failing in Russia for the last few hundred years. You don't Outlast Russia in a game of numbers. That don't work. Russia will happily go Toe to Toe with you and lose four times as many men. Not a problem for them. Never has been never will be.

So is Ukraine in Asia or something?

Nazi Russia pact 2: America throws Europe to the wolves after creating its own role it now uses as an excuse to blackmail world peace and climate for lithium and hate because Mars Hateopia is no longer feasible in time for Elon-aloo.

I mostly agree with your points, but even the article title very clearly says 'could'.
Russia had been encroaching on Ukrainian borders for years before launching their full invasion, and I'm not aware of similar actions against other European nations. It may be fearmongering, but unifying and strengthening NATO is in an important step to take to prevent Putin from going even further. He is heading towards his latter years now, and he seems to like the idea of restoring the 'glory' of the USSR and showing the West how big and stronk Russia is.
Additionally, in a larger-scale war with other, better armed European nations, Russia might not hold back on using their nukes this time round.

There was a serious military buildup in some more sane countries. Poland has spent the past few years buying up all the tanks everyone had.
-
This is about how quickly the Russian war machine and economy can rebuild their capability to attack again. IIRC the report by the Danish Intelligence Service assumes that the Ukraine war stops now and that Europe does not increase its defensive capabilities.

I want to believe putin would find it difficult to maintain a war time economy without a war going on.

Russia can't produce tanks. They can only refit soviet era stocks and build a few ifvs.
There are almost no soviet era stocks left. They are using ~~late ww2 era tractors ~~civillian carschinese golf cartsdirt bikese scootersmules for gods sake. They are producing vast amounts of drones though and are one of two countries in the world experienced in drone warfare.
