Putin doesn't really want a war with NATO because 'Russia will lose and lose quickly,' UK military chief says
Russia would be seriously outclassed by NATO's land, sea, and air forces in a conflict and would lose fast, the UK's Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said.

No one would win a war between NATO and Russia. No one.

First, war is always a tragedy. Always. It is to be avoided until the reasonably plausible alternative is worse for human suffering. People who ignore this are asses (not saying you are one of them).
Second, as long as it stays conventional and China stays on the sidelines, then yes of course NATO destroys the Russian military, or at least keeps it hemmed into existing Russian territory. That's been true for 30 years.
Third, those are VERY big 'ifs'.

I would win. In times of war, I become a gentleman thief and underworld figure who is useful to both sides.
