I know, but there's the fact that your answer would be applied with the factions switched if it wasn't for Northern Strike; the EU basically lost all military power over mainland Europe (except probably the Iberian Peninsula) and if it wasn't for the alliance with the Union of African States, the constant defense of the Suez and the introduction of the A3-Goliath IFV, the EU would have lost long before they could resist, so I wouldn't be very confident tbh
