NATO also has nukes, plus, conventionally NATO is far more superior than Russia. Turkey alone is enough for Russia.
Russia is still the second most powerful country in the world; only the US is a match for Russia.
The question isn't whether the US can defeat Russia, but whether it will risk a credible threat to its mainland. Ukraine is not a core interest for the US. Not by a long shot.

Subsequently, several international treaties have governed vessels using the waters. Under the Treaty of Hünkar Iskelesi of 1833, the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits were to be closed on Russian demand to naval vessels of other powers.[8] Following World War I, the 1920 Treaty of Sèvres demilitarized the strait and made it an international territory under the control of the League of Nations. This was amended under the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, which restored the straits to Turkish territory—but allowed all foreign warships and commercial shipping to traverse the straits freely. Turkey eventually rejected the terms of that treaty, and subsequently Turkey remilitarized the straits area. The reversion to this old regime was formalized under the Montreux Convention Regarding the Regime of the Turkish Straits of July 1936. That convention, which is still in practical force as of 2011, treats the straits as an international shipping lane, but Turkey retains the right to restrict the naval traffic of non-Black Sea nations (such as Greece, a traditional enemy, or Algeria).

Of course this doesn't even include all the former Soviet states that allow US/NATO forces to be deployed and supplied.
China is surrounded by to many powerful players to become a super power. Just look at the south korean,Japanese, and Taiwanese militaries not to forget the u.s forces in the area.
Something has to be done about Russia, the world must understand that U.S. can't be ignored!
NATO must grow a pair and send troops to Ukraine right now.
