What does NATO do then? Because the fear of a nuclear war is precisely the same as it is if NATO were to intervene now, defending a non-NATO country.
This is the confusing part. It's not like when a NATO member is attacked, the aggressor's nuclear arsenal disappears. Therefore, the distinction between defending a NATO member or a non NATO member looks arbitrary.

That is a theoretical question because with the issues and losses Russia is taking in Ukraine, they won't have the ability to risk a situation with other countries of similar strength let alone risk something involving nato.
