Putin & Russia

This doesn't answer the question. There hasn't been any Russian aggression that would invoke a NATO requirement for the US to do something.

Depends what something is.

There has been nothing yet to make US military action a requirement.

However, Article 4 is certainly in play. History teaches us that appeasing aggression by nation states isn’t a great idea.

I’d suggest it would be better for the US to do something now (as in make explicitly clear their commitment to Article 5 and their intention to immediately act upon it) rather than give Russia further encouragement to attack a NATO state on its border.

At the moment we have the TACO-in-Chief doing his usual tough talking without ever following through.

And so Putin -who needs perma-war to survive domestically - keeps (literally) pushing the boundaries.
