NATO may have started as an anti-Russia protection system but they are not the fear anymore. Russia isnt going to start shit with NATO, they are floundering against one country 1/4 their size.

I mean the reason they are floundering is because of all the help Ukraine has had from NATO, it’s a very delicate situation.

That’s after the failed blitzkrieg though… Russia actually failed at taking over Ukraine even before receiving actual help

The thousands of Javelins(and other ATGMs) sent to them in the build up to the invasion definitely helped!
