almost all of the U.S.-led NATO alliance was now fighting against Russia.

Is his captive audience unaware that NATO's barely involved? They're only sending materiel... with strict rules for short-range use. Direct conflict has been actively avoided, because if his decrepit ass attacks Poland, the whole weight of Europe's armies are supposed to crash down upon him.

Seriously. If Putin thought NATO was a paper tiger, why didn't he invade them, instead of Ukraine which he's now having so much trouble with?
