This seems like it incentivizes egomania and Putin type behavior and, to skip straight to Godwin's law, seems like the same mindset with Poland and such back in the day, no?

I'm also to really sure why should it be different when Russia decides it wants to invade, say, Estonia? Obviously, they'e in NATO, but so what? Why shouldn't we throw them to the wolves as well? Better that than to risk nuclear war, yeah?

Godwin's law is sadly (or ironically) applicable here, as Gestapo / NKVD were collaborating in 1939. And NKVD and KGB are in the lineage of current day FSB. They adapted it to current time but the purpose and their methods aren't much different.

Regarding second paragraph, would existence of NATO even make sense if it won't defend one of its members?
