But I don't think they were really "met with strength". If they had, then Moscow would really have been bombed and I don't mean by drones. I just don't think NATO is going to fight a war with Russia over Ukraine.

If Russia had really been "met with strength" the war would be over, or it would have spread much farther than Ukraine's borders. With respect to the Ukrainians, who have shown incredible bravery and smarts, I'm afraid they have been left to fend on their own, and I don't see that seriously changing.
