Except now NATO has been disarmed (at least in Europe) - their stocks have been emptied and they have neither the industrial capacity nor the resources to produce the armaments; also - Ukraine has been bled dry, its infrastructure severely damaged, its remaining industry turned into rubble, and the most painful part - its non-Nazi people - those who weren't interested in fighting, those who were kidnapped off the streets - sacrificed on the altar of Western capitalism/imperialism as cannon fodder. There's not a lot of leeway to wiggle anymore
