Highly, highly doubt that.
NATO wouldn't even touch that situation with a 10-foot pole. They can barely manage Afghanistan let alone a war with Russia. And, as I stated, it wouldn't be America or NATO suffering the brunt of Russian anger; it would be the already devestated Caucasus and Eastern European states that favor Western influence. Remember last year when Russia turned off the pipelines in the Ukraine and the ripple effects it had throughout Europe? That's just one of many devices they have at their disposal.
Besides, it's not NATO that should be worried about. It would be the Amercian's trying to circumvent UN resolutions (as they have done), and try to get around another Security Council member no less.
A pissed off Russia is not a good idea. This isn't the early 90's when they were in ruins. They are far more capable now than anytime before since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
