Well it wont because the counter to it would be total annihilation and a nuclear winter. NATO isn't regulating nor preventing Russia from using nukes and hardly on invading. They spread themselves into conflicts much like the US, so while NATO came together after 9/11, it's not doing to well to stop Russia and sure as hell is doing nothing to stop China, who just gives NATO and the US the big middle finger regarding nautical laws.

Russia have proven itself to not be afraid to invade non-aligned nations. For some reason they have stayed away from NATO nations, and that's the whole point of the nuclear capacity of both blocs to prevent a war. An alliance can't just regulate directly another nation from having nukes, but the whole thing is that it "regulate" it (by using your words) from being used by having retaliatory capabilities. 

 

And what can NATO do to prevent Russian aggression? And what can CSTO do to prevent US aggression? There is the matter of what's needed and what's practical, however the Russian economy is taking a big toll on NATO and EU sanctions, but what would the alternative be? Should NATO go to war over Crimea or some islands in the South China Sea? The execution of the annexation of Crimea took many by surprise, but the war in Donbass have been somewhat quiet, much to do with US and EU involvement. Now Russia also conducted a massive cyberattack against Estonia, after that NATO evolved to include such cyber attacks as an act of war. After that there haven't been any cyber attacks on that scale from Russia (however the eastern expansion of NATO is another topic..)

Of course they can't.

So what do you propose them to do? Since the creation of NATO, Russia/USSR/Warsaw Pact/CSTO have only invaded countries in "their sphere" and not done anything directly against NATO/US/EU and vice versa. And that is the point of these alliances in the end, to keep peace in Europe between the two blocs.
