We can pull out of NATO right?

Quite right. IMHO, the Russian government knows the slow grind of battle can lead to fatigue. Time is a factor that Russia is weighing and it is to the Russian's advantage to wait and let the West and NATO get tired of funneling money into Ukraine. Putin knows Americans are waking up to this money pit in Ukraine. So, the attitude in Moscow is to establish good defensive lines and move military assets behind the Dnieper River and wait for winter to arrive. The Ukrainian people are going to be really impacted by the cold weather and the lack of heat and running water. This is going to cause the United States and EU to really come to terms with their own energy issues. Time is on Russia's side.
Another thing is without heating and water, there will be another refugee crisis heading to Europe. They can barely cope with the refugees from war torn countries in the ME and it estimated that 8 million will descend on Europe from Ukraine. But while there is some gas reserves for this winter, they are saying that next winter will be much, much worse.
