Well the somewhat obvious thing you’re missing is that Russia is waging a war against Ukraine, not the US or NATO.
From that follows the logical conclusion that it’s not the US’ or NATO’s job to “reply to constant attacks”, and instead getting involved in the conflict is just that — waging war against Russia.
