There is no way in hell Russia would purposefully trigger art 5.
They may talk the talk for their internal audience but although they may show signs of unexpected incompetence they are not stupid.
An internal coup would be more likely than going full out Leeroy Jenkins WW3.

Russians would have had super high morale while West would have been in 100% panic mode trying to keep business as usual going. Tiny annoyances in the middle be damned.
