The pieces seem to be falling into place, however I believe this will fall short of a full on engagement with Russia. I don't think Russia has the oomph to sustain a full on conflict with NATO for long.

No, NATO is an organisation borne out of the North Atlantic Treaty in 1949.
If the USA enters Iran and Russia attack then the rest of NATO will be forced to intervene. We are all allies after all.

NATO world police to the rescue .

NATO was built upon a need for a strong reactionary force coming out of WW2. The 28 nations involved have the same basic ideal to keep things as they are. Simple.
