@buddyg7713 do you think Europeans want to fight against Russia and die in the frontlines? NATO never would intervene in this conflict, because pacifistic Western societies are against war and they don't want to go to war with Russians.
At now many people in USA hate George Bush for starting war in Iraq, despite the fact that this war was victorious for USA with low casualities (only few thousand US KIA for 300+ million USA population). They don't want to participate in any war, this is why NATO withdrew from Afganistan. War in Vietnam ended because of anti-war protests. Western people would be against war with Russia if it would happen, while Russians will count this as a war for their survival against invaders.
Don't underestimate Russia like Napoleon or Hitler did. Russia may appear weak in some conflicts, but Russian army always was able to study on its own mistakes. Russian army always was able to study and improve the quality.
160 million populated USSR won a phyrric victory in a war with Finland, capturing 20% of Finnish territory and 2nd largest Finnish city, and losing lives of 120 thousand soldiers for that. In a war against Finland, that had total population of 2 million. But USSR was able to defeat 70 million populated Germany, that had economic capabiluties off all Europe, and USSR defeated Germany mostly without lend-lease, which came mainly since 1944. Russian Empire lost many battles to Napoleon in the first coalition wars, but war of 1812 was a disaster for France and in 1814 Russians were in Paris.
If NATO would start a war against Russia, I believe that peoples of Europe and USA would protest against this war, just like anti-war protests during the Vietnam war. And this means that NATO would fight against Russia without mobilization, while Russia would declare a war-time economy and total mobilization. No one side would be able to achieve victory. NATO without mobilization, with limited force, wouldn't be able to conquer Russia, they will capture some territories and would be bogged down, and there would be a stalemate for NATO troops exactly like for the Russians in Ukraine.
About NATO training - NATO don't have an experience to fight a real wars against capable enemy, they always fought against rebels and untrained Iraqi poor equipped troops. Ukrainian and Russian army have the experience of a real war of two modern armies, so, both Ukrainian and Russian troops have better training and quality than NATO troops. Ukrainian forces, that participate in the counter-offensive were trained by NATO instructors. And we see how Leopards are burning from Russian kamikadze drones, we see that in 2 months of offensive Ukraine captured few villages with thousands of lives lost. Ukrainian army, trained by NATO instructors and equiped with NATO weapons and vehicles, is losing thousands of troops in WW1 style offensive with capturing few villages in 2 months. NATO troops are even less trained than Ukrainian troops, because unlike Ukrainians, NATO don't have experience.
