At the very latest, NATO became obsolete in 1991 when its raison d’etre — the Soviet Empire — dissolved.

Nevermind the fact that Comrade Putin's stated goal is to REBUILD the Soviet Union.

Nevermind is correct.

Had NATO been shut down in 1991, had the West taken a friendly attitude toward Russia (as we did toward Germany and Japan after WW2), then Putin might not have seen any need "to REBUILD the Soviet Union."

Rebuild the USSR? His forces can’t ge 50km from the border without running out of supplies. I’d I was Z, I’d make a bee line to Crimea. It’s the key. Take Crimea and it all falls apart.
