I'm guessing the answer was no - ukraine didn't meet the requirement. That's going to have to be something that nato looks at going forward, whether those requirements lead to exactly the thing nato was formed to prevent - and..as a nato country, the us is in theory committed to promoting nato and natos interests. If a person genuinely believes that "the us made us attack ukraine" is any kind of valid justification, then "russia made us incorporate the entire european continent into nato" is pretty much equivalent.
(and I know, I know, we dispensed with validity and with justification earlier when we suggested that it's just a might makes right "we do what we do because fuck you is why" situation)
