Why? I follow the truth. I don't have the patriotic motivation to deny the truth. Some people are patriotic enough to risk a nuclear war, others are patriotic enough to bomb defenseless people, and sow conflict against non-threats. China and Russia are not threats to national security of Europe or the US, but if you want to them to be, keep treading on the same path.

Paying attention to the quote I have of your statement
I dont think its unreasonable to assume that the Russian military command genuinely believed the they were a lot stronger than they actually were when this started. Just based on what news I’ve been following, it seems like its very common for Russian officers to lie to their superiors about how strong their units are for the sake of looking good.
If you don't have the capacity, then you can't. How do you know they are "trying"? NATO said Russia is a threat to NATO and the US says Russia is a threat to national security. This statement seems to indicate that NATO is crossing their own lies. It is a contradiction, one of many coming out of NATO.
It’s possible to have aspirations beyond what your current capabilities are. Look at Benito Mussolini’s entire military history. Russian state media regularly makes claims that they will reconquer the Baltics and Poland. They even said they would nuke the North Sea to destroy Britain with a tidal wave. Are we supposed to just ignore what they say?
I am going to make a bet you can't back up your statements. NATO is too stupid to figure out the military strength of Russia and takes their word for it, instead?

Russia isn't part of NATO. Why is NATO contradicting itself with a narrative that Putin is out to conquer Europe, bring back the USSR, and claim here, it is too weak to do so on this front?
What a minute, didn't NATO say that Russia is trying to conquer all of Europe, and attack NATO countries, yet it doesn't have the numbers for a significant breakthrough in Ukraine. Something's fishy going on with this statement.... The psychological operations continue.
You would think a democracy would outlaw misinformation and lies from politicians as to be honest to the public, but no...
