NATO is not only America+GB. It is also, for example, Estonia, Latvia and Poland. All countries that have border common with Russia. It is also Slovakia and Romania - counties that will have border with them if Russia win. These countries don't want to become part of Russia or fall under Russia control again.
And in fact, Germany and France dont want that either, because the would mean having to deal with USSR right there again.
