> No NATO state will enter into this conflict, Putin has been pretty openly threatening with nuclear annihilation
This basically means 2 things:
1. NATO is dead.
2. Putin is free to do whatever he wants wherever he chooses.

Neither of those points follow from the premise.
NATO's mission has always been mutual defense of members. Ukraine is not a member.
The threat of Russian nuclear weapons has been more poignant in the past than today. Neither of your conclusions was true before.

"Ukraine made the decision to completely denuclearize. In exchange, the U.S., the U.K. and Russia would guarantee Ukraine's security in a 1994 agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum." [0]
We can see this security guarantee in action right now. Same will happen with NATO's mutual defense guarantee.

I don’t know how that means NATO is dead. Ukraine is (unfortunately for them at this moment) not a part of NATO, so the response is different. If Russia continues and invades Lithuania, etc, the rest of the countries are obligated to defend it.
