The way I see it this is going to benefit NATO the way the 2nd Anglo Boer war did the British. Revealing a whole host of deficiencies and shortcomings in a less important conflict so that the lessons can be learned before the bigger one later (probably against China).

Before no America and the West was sleepwalking complacently into handing over more economic dependency to hostile adversary states and running down the military. Now all of that is being reassessed, NATO is expanding, military tactics against peer level powers in the modern age are being tested and policy is going to make us better prepared going forward. Russia has done us a favour, and we haven’t had to spill any of our own blood learning these lessons the hard way.
