Yes, Colonel, Patience ...

 ... is lacking in the instant gratification culture. 

Yes, NATO has been exposed for what it is--a posse to beat up defenseless powers under false pretexts. Also, to project the totally false image of powerful defensive alliance. Defensive alliance it is not, neither is the EU as economic manifestation of NATO, neither is powerful. Once the EU is broken up de jure, NATO will follow. As I state non-stop, don't raise your hopes high in terms of Russian-American conversations (those are not even negotiations--just the agreement to continue conversations). It is merely a good step, and that superpowers are talking is a good sign. It is still one up over what it used to be. Russia, meanwhile, continues with SMO and those who ask if removing the anti-tank dragon teeth in Kharkov area by Russians are indications of Russians planning to go on the offensive there--for all I care this could be simply a feint to stress and stretch already badly depleted 404 reserves even more. Russia has many options, 404 and the West have none.
