NATO’s purpose is not prevent attacks and invasions in Europe from Russia

Do you honestly believe that every person involved in NATO has thought since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 that the organization had no purpose, and all the military involved in NATO were just sitting around doing nothing?

That's a ridiculous idea. Why don't you read what NATO itself describes as its mission and get back to us once you have a clue about their purpose and missions.

You might see things like

"NATO continues to address the security implications of Russia's growing arsenal of nuclear-capable missiles, which poses a significant risk to Alliance security and violated the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. The Alliance is responding by strengthening its advanced conventional capabilities, investing in new platforms – including fifth-generation fighter aircraft – and adapting its exercises, intelligence, and air and missile defence posture. It is doing so while ensuring its nuclear deterrent remains safe, secure and effective. At the same time, NATO remains strongly committed to effective arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation, and continues to call for all actors, including Russia and China, to engage constructively."

You should also work on your English, in your writing you make many of the errors typical of people from Eastern Europe who learned English as a second language. That may also help you understand English material you read.

When did Congress vote to change our mission in Europe? I don’t remember that happening. Russia does not desire world domination like the USSR did. I don’t think you can sell a real war to the people over the integrity of Ukraine’s borders. If Russia decides to bully it’s neighbors who are not in NATO, so be it. I’m tired of the USA being the world’s policeman. And I think my view is the majority now. And yeah I know my grammar is atrocious. Nobody’s perfect.

Oh one more thing. Supposing we decide to occupy part of Ukraine, like the city of Odessa to prevent it’s capture. The likelihood of failure is high. Russia has completed it’s 300,000 troop mobilization, but I’ve been keeping tabs on what Scott Ritter and Colonel Macgregor have to say about this war. And from their analysis, Russia is still mobilizing forces. The 300,000 figure is just the start. I’ve heard them say there are 5,000 troops of the 101st airborne division in Romania and another 5,000 troops of that division in Poland.

Supposing Russia launches a massive invasion before the month of November is up, like Colonel MacGregor predicts? Would Biden rush the nearest available troops to Ukraine? Then we would have a modern day Dien Bien Phu with our troops surrounded on all sides. That’s a situation I’d rather not see come to pass. Especially for a cause such as this.
