“NATO could totally kick Russia’s butt right now and doesn’t do it.”

With weapons? Zelensky is in a receptive mode.

With men? The Ukrainian armed forces are battle-hardened to a degree probably not seen since the Korean War.

What would British, French or American troops be able to do that they can’t?

American troops were driven out of Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. The United States has not won a war since 1945. The youngest American veteran that has won a US war is 98 years old.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Obviously if Russia is held back for three years by Ukraine, adding in the United States plus the rest of NATO would be decisive.

You named three countries the United States was “driven out of”.

Iraq. Not even close. Seen Saddam Hussein running Iraq lately?

Afghanistan. A withdrawal by Biden. No one was driven out.

Vietnam. The communists were defeated and signed a peace treaty. We withdrew.
They attacked when Nixon was pushed out of office and Congress cut off funding. We were not militarily driven out of Vietnam.
