  1. NATO was formed to fight the USSR. They won. Russia was restored, but NATO only grew stronger, and more aggressive after years of calm. So Putin steps in, mainly because he probably sees a threat from a NATO that didn't go away after it had achieved it's initial goal. NATO's current mission is now protection of Europe, and Anti-Terror... But who to defend Europe against If the USSR is gone? Russia is an integral part of Europe and usually only act militarily when their existence is threatened, hence their intervention in Syria which stopped NATO in its tracks because ISIL controlled 80% of Syria and growing. Today, it's under 10%. Russia is stronger, and the rest of the world is beginning to see NATO as absolete, which it is. Any such conflict between nuclear states isn't possible because it leads to inevitable nuclear exchange, followed my mutually assured destruction. In short, no one wins.

  2. howabout no I can prove to you it's obsolete. Look at Ukraine. It's had close relations (Not the warmest) with Russia for a long period in history with Crimea passing between owmership of the two nations occasionally. So in modern day, with corruption everywhere, what's to some a NATO member state isn't to instigate a response from a nation they don't like, forcing NATO to jump on that nation, then suddenly, the large Military Umbrella was just used as a bullying tactic. We can already see this happening. It's not even just in the case of Europe. Terrorists do it to in an attempt to get large Military pacts to clash this causing major political and economic damage on their adversaries.
