For the same reason, the US will not defend Japan or the Philippines in their conflict with China because China is strong. And it will not defend Israel or Saudi Arabia in a conflict with Iran because Iran is strong. And of course, it will not defend Europe because Russia is strong.
So the question is, why the United States signs defence treaties with so many countries if it is not willing and not able to defend them? Why not simply tell all it's allies: "you are all on your own now, good luck!'

On the other hand, Russia will not invade US' "allies", at least not in the foreseeable future. Russia's strategy will remain defensive unless it's provoked again like the Ukraine event.

I think it largely depends on what US do next, if US continue to pull Russia's neighboring countries to join NATO, for example, Putin may react again.
