NATO countries only have to react if other member countries are attacked. NATO did not participate in Iraq; some members did but as a coalition they did not. They did participate in some operations in Afghanistan post-911 however, because that was a direct attack on a NATO member. Also saying the US or NATO are remotely similar to Putin is both-sides-ing nonsense.
