      This situation is exactly what NATO wanted. Russia goes wild and they get to beat the war drums which is very profitable for arms manufacturers.

        America had begun to reorient towards increasing hostility with China, NATO as an organization needs Russia to be the big bad or they become irrelevant

          NATO literally has never had trouble with this. Even after the USSR fell and Russia was on its knees it was able to continue. Why would it be any different now?

            Kinda, but not really, they spent smaller portion of gdp on nato than required. Rn germany already said they are going to pump their military budget, while previously they’ve avoided getting into Iraq even.
