Maybe it sucks holding the country or building new relations but it excels at invading it and did it successfully in Afghanistan as well.

You're right, let me rephrase that. The US is the only NATO country with living experience in invading non-neighboring countries with current methods, doctrines and technologies. That's not a simple thing to do and that know-how is extremely valuable if you want to invade someone else.

US arms are still flowing to Ukraine and the sanctions against Russia still stand. I'm not saying things haven't gotten worse under Trump but it's clear that the US still has an anti-Russia policy.

Russia has an army that is capable of invading another country. The only country in NATO that have done that is the US.

I don't think Russia invading the whole of the EU is a realistic possibility but grabbing a few ex Soviet countries off the border...

Why do you think that? How would losing half the military assets and technology would benefit NATO?
