This is correct. Russia is a bear that is not worth poking. Take a look at Soviet tactics in both World Wars. This wouldn't be asymmetrical warfare, which is NATO's bread and butter, this would be hell on earth, and humans have only gotten better at war since the 1940s.

Your comment is a bit historically illiterate with respect to World War I. All of the fighting was done by the Russian Empire, the Soviets by contrast immediately signed a disadvantageous peace treaty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Brest-Litovsk).
