Unless you think that russia is more of a danger now than it was during cold war
Russia has never been an actual danger to the west, but it has been a great bogey man to keep Europeans under the US control. Europe was relevant to the US during Cold War because USSR posed an ideological threat to the dictatorship of capital. Now that Russia is capitalist, Europe has lost its value and it's going to be cannibalized so that the US can focus on their new adversary in the Asia. Hence why NATO is now done.
