Is that gamble worth the lives of nearly every living thing on the planet and the future of human civilization?
Russia alone has enough nuclear weapons to cause a mass extinction event. Even if no one else fires a single one, they could erase life as we know it.
If Putin sees a Leopard tank in Moscow, are you sure he wouldn’t order a launch? And if Britain or the French see those missiles and bombers, are you sure they won’t launch in retaliation?
That’s the logic that European leaders are operating under. If they pull the trigger on article 5 and launch a war with Russia, even if they win, everyone could still lose literally everything.
