Perhaps the question should be "could Russia mount a conventional attack into western europe?"
Would the russian economy be able to support it? It isn't good business practice to invade your best customers.
The feasibility of large scale armoured movements across a heavily urbanised area is questionable, especially in the face of trained, professional opposition with up to date equipment. (Iraq is not a relevant example - particularly without air superiority).
Yes, Europe would defend itself. In the event of a massive ground invasion, the nukes would fly. Nobody would win, Europe and Russia would glow in the dark.
It won't succeed. I can see only few scenarios where they could take Europe, but even then it wouldn't be able to KEEP Europe for more than maybe few months, and after then it would be driven back. And that's the worst case scenario where nukes are not used.
Russia couldn't attack by surprise really, but they could use other tactics, like attacking few frontier countries first, just enough not to get the whole Europe ready fighting, as if they'd settle for few countries. When it comes obvious they're not stopping, that's the time when they have already failed.
I figure they'd get as far as central Europe at the VERY best for a short time and then pushed back at the very latest. The only way they could capitalize on Europes lack of central command and defense is the surprise element, but I can't see them getting it. And even if they'd be able to pull it off, it wouldn't hold.
In da butt.

But it must be clear for Europe that it's a fight for survival, then no one else than the French will surrender.
And as far as lacking co-operation, I think at that point we would be very much be looking forward establishing it. Though it could be late, but we would be able to stall RUssia enough with territorial defense strategies long enough.. IF nukes aren't used. If nukes are used, there are no winners.

Also, St. Petersburg would become a Province of Finland.
Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

Of course not! We get Karelia and maybe St Petersburg, you can get the rest of it.. that's all we ask..
