Most european countries are rearming no? And Ukraine is just the start. EU/NATO expansionism & Russia pushing back is going to lead to wars in Belarus/Armenia/Georgia as well.
I'm sorry, what? How can anyone write such absolute nonsense?
Russia attacked Ukraine. Ukraine wasn't going to join NATO, it was explicitly stated and agreed upon years ago. Finland and Norway weren't going to join NATO, because they had zero interest in doing so. But Russia attacked Ukraine, so they applied into NATO, it's a direct consequence of Russia's actions. That's not Russia "pushing back".
IIRC in the 90s/00s they were talking about Russia joining NATO, too. After 9/11 Putin offered their well-meant help. NATO and Russia were meeting regularly in the past three decades and guess what, Russia left this meeting. Plus, NATO was always very careful arming NATO states near Russia in order to not provoke them. You cannot put this on NATO's card.
Edit: Even after annexation of Crimea, the EU (esp. Germany) tried to calm down Putin by negotiating a piece treaty between Ukraine and Russia and buying even more (cheap) Russian gas.

Norway has been in NATO literally from day one in 1949. NATO membership is the main plank of its defence policy.
Well because clearly I'm an idiot and was meant to write Sweden and Finland not Sweden and Norway.
