Because NATO is already at war with Russia now the US and UK are allowing their missiles to strike inside Russian territory. And also not to forget this is a war inside Europe. If the west backs down over Ukraine then what country is next in line?

NATO homepage...
NATO is not at war with Russia.
Clear enough?
We might as well cut the BS Rob - the UK and US are allowing their missiles to strike targets in Russia. The US is the lead country in NATO. Whether we like it or not, indirectly NATO is at war with Russia else NATO countries (US and UK) would not be allowing their weapons to strike Russian territory.
The message on the NATO homepage is as useful as the message from Starmer today that we are not at war with Russia (but we are attacking it by allowing Ukraine to fire Storm Shadows onto Russian territory).
Yes you could say that - either way the guns, ammunition, intelligence, satellite imagery, targeting co ordinates, tanks, F-16s, missiles, etc etc have all come and continue to come from NATO countries.
It’s a bit like Russia continuing to call it a “special military operation” when the rest of the world can openly see it’s a war.

Yes, I think the second point is well-made, there are a lot of euphemisms at play in this situation.
However, I think there's an 'additional' missing from the first statement. It remains the fact the Russia are the aggressor here, they have invaded Ukraine. The reason NATO countries are supplying additional...
is because Russia invaded Ukraine.
