NATO is vastly superior to Russia militarily.
The French were the main instigators behind this policy and got into the war (along with some other NATO allies including America). Guess who handled the logistics? The Americans and not NATO. Guess who flew the lion's share of the air strikes? America and not NATO. Guess who ran out of air ordnance and had to use U.S. stock piles? France!
Tell me again how NATO will stand up against Russia with Obama as CinC? If it ever came to a Putin vs. Obama confrontation involving NATO, look for Obama to sellout to Putin and throw the victory to Russia.
