I hear NATO, I think of this!
To be fair, I'm sure the Baltic states and other NATO members in eastern Europe are glad that Russia doesn't dare mess with them directly. The deterrence results in their safety.
You don't think that deterrence is free, do you?
Unfortunately it isn't. All that military hardware costs something.
