Under such a scenario, Russia would attempt to seize NATO territory and China would blockade Taiwan as a fait accompli to undermine alliance cohesion. As things stand, NATO's conventional forces would struggle to withstand such a Russian assault.
The Cold War solution to this kind of problem involved the threat of using tactical nuclear weapons. Small tactical nuclear weapons made it highly risky to mass mechanized formations for a large-scale assault, as they would become a perfect target for such nukes.
Such an onslaught from the East is once again possible. Russia is now building up two new armies larger than the armies of half of NATO combined.
