What happens when he starts to flood the Baltic states with Russian forces and provokes the next round of conquests? Because you know he is certainly not done.

Are we really going to stand idly by as he reestablishes the Warsaw pact?

WWIII

Because all of NATO is legally required to treat an attack on the Baltics as an attack on themselves.

So when does the European Union do something? NATO is required to defend the baltic states if i recall correctly.

It's required to do all kinds of things that member states don't actually do. And there's no consequence so they don't do them.

How many times NATO states go "not my problem, let americans pay the brunt of it."

Rolling into the Baltics or other independent NATO sovereign countries in Eastern Europe is a whole different ballgame than if Russia rolls into separatist areas in eastern Ukraine IMO. If the Russians start invading other European countries I think a war would be warranted but Putin probably isn’t that dumb. He would not win against NATO unless he went scorched earth with nukes, in which case there is no winner.

NATO Article V kicks in, and we go to war.

No. See above. But Putin is not stupid enough to pick a war with NATO or invade a NATO country Russia cannot beat NATO in a military conflict.
