In the fall of 2022, a U.S. intelligence assessment put the odds at 50-50 that Russia would launch a nuclear strike to halt Ukrainian forces if they breached its defense of Crimea.

Much more likely today is that NATO would launch a nuclear strike to halt Russian forces if they advanced too close to "NATO's Borders".

"NATO's Borders" is a term used a lot by NATO, except that NATO is not a country. And only individual countries can have borders.

Why is that more likely?

Are NATO's borders not simply the union of its constituents' borders?

>Much more likely today is that NATO would launch a nuclear strike to halt Russian forces if they advanced too close to "NATO's Borders".

Did you just make that up from thin air or do you have some information to support your claim?
