Whims of the US? In what way.
Article 5 was invoked once, for September 11th. I don't have too much problem with that in principle (although worth noting that other NATO countries don't invoke it when foreign terrorists attacked their cities).
The only country I don't think would respond to an Article 5 invocation from a Russian invasion would be Turkey.

The battleground is in the Polish or German plains so one would think they have the most to lose (again). Recall, Germany was only united in 1870, and Poland was both huge and missing in Central Europe over the centuries.
