Doesn't that give some urgency to NATO's reason for existing? I think that does. And it certainly gave NATO a new lease on life in a variety of ways, helped convince Europeans to start taking defense more seriously, obviously led to two new members, Sweden and Finland, something I think Vladimir Putin didn't expect.
