Any person with a brain knows that Russia won't invade any country. NATO just needs an arch enemy to justify its existence and it seems everyone want to believe that the Russians are still those evil commies of old.

...like Ukraine over Crimea.

Of course they won't invade Finland or Estonia or Poland or Latvia or Lithuania, because the treaty says NATO may intervene (though it's not guaranteed).

But we still need some international millitary force for stabilization US-or-otherwise invaded regions.

Ah Crimea ... explain me why Kosovo can vote for its independence of Serbia and it's OK but Crimea can't choose its fate ?

Can you even find a significant number of Crimeans that are unhappy with the situation ? If Crimea had really been invaded by Russia where are all the testimonials of the Crimeans saying that their life is worse than before and that they wish to go back to Ukraine ?

Kosovo independence was not a result of a referendum. It was the parliament's decision. The legality of the declaration is being disputed.
