Because the US and Europe aren't currently at war...
The industrial capacity of Russia is laughably small compared to its potential, because of mismanagement and looting by Putin & co. They have the autocracy advantage of being able to force everything to a single focus, but it's a large fraction of a small denominator. If the US had a war to win, and if wars were still primarily determined by raw materiel and boots (which I'm not sure is true in the drone/missile age), it would get 1942 in a hurry.
There's nothing here!
