The constant Russian interference, combined with the regular escalation from the jets patrolling, and the radar jamming, really needs to be dealt with.

We're stuck between having to do timid actions and full NATO escalation. This feels like constant creep.

The only time NATO has actually gotten involved in a conflict was in Afghanistan after 911. So no, it is not only because of Russia.

False. NATO Command led the bombing of Libya in 2011 (taking over from the French).

You can search for "NATO Libya Lessons" and get a ton of articles by analysts, many published in US military journals and/or written by US think tanks on the subject. For example, here's one from RAND:
