NATO's strength has been that the USA is in it. European countries have generally let their militaries atrophy since they could usually rely on the USA providing higher level military functions and general deterrence.

Russia would get crushed quickly in a conventional war versus an American led NATO. Russia has a decent shot at winning a war against an Americaless NATO.
