Again, non-argument and irrelevant. Russia is not attacking NATO, it's attacking Ukraine, for reasons that according to Putins recent statements have basically nothing to do with NATO.
You seem to have lost sight of what's actually happening and why. Which is somewhat understandable because Putin has been moving the goalposts of what Ukraine "should stop doing" so many times that it's hard to keep track.
