It seems like the NATO wins any way you roll the dice: 1) Ukraine is destroyed and is an object lesson in why NATO is important, or 2) Ukraine holds on for a while and creates resistance within Russia or at least creates an economic disaster and weakens their ability to sustain their next outing, or 3) Ukraine pushes Russia out and becomes an EU and NATO member. With China sympathetic to Russia, it seems more important to strengthen and expand NATO.
