Wait until you hear what that defensive pact did in Yugoslavia and Libya

You know, you have a point. But I'll note both instances had the UN request NATO intervention. Russia could have blocked either with their veto in the UN Security Council, but they didn't.

I mean, no, the UN security council doesn't have any power, they would have still gone through with the invasion.

Not to mention the actual voting on intervention was in the start of 1992, when the comprador Russian government (the same one btw that got promised by USA they won't add former socialist countries to NATO) was choking on USA boot.
