With Finland being part of the EU, an invasion of Finland by Russia would already pull in 90% of NATO (per Article 42 of the EU). With most of NATO already needing to care about the border, this should not pose too much of a challenge.

no one (including the Finnish government) believes that article 42 has any teeth

(ironically because Finland insisted on it in the last treaty renegotiation)
and I don't think you can really say that it's 90% of NATO without the US, more like 10%
