To be fair, Russia is doing exactly what the USA would do in parallel circumstances....not that I like either side doing such things. Its a geopolitical mess, and not as it appears on the surface. The deeper political aspects are lost on most, though much of it can be found on our Forum (and a few other places). It is no secret that some in the 'West' and USA have long sought to destroy and 'tame' for their own purposes Russia and China - something I believe is now impossible [not to mention not desirable nor fair nor legal]. Such apparently small and far-away 'things' have started other wars....the next global war will be the last. Insane megalomaniacs and power/money-hungry persons are in charge of all of the major powers. Life hangs by a thread on this Planet for a host of reasons - not the least of which that the will of the World's People is not empowered, but they are subject to the will of a few who care only about themselves and their tinpot empires. Time for a total paradigm shift. While one can assign blame to one party or another in each 'event', all sides, all major powers are corrupt, undemocratic, autocratic, and insane, IMHO.
Ukraine is not a member of NATO. So they can't use the attack on a NATO member as a means of war. And they didn't do that for Turkey with the Mavi Mara against non NATO Israel. I don't think Eurpoe has the stomach for another big war. Nor do people want nuclear missiles flying anywhere. I don't think the NATO countries have the support of their people to go to war. Though it could be a war with few people and just a few big bombs and over quickly but at what cost? There are lots of countries that support separatisim and are achieving that through representation in the EU (eg Scotland, Basque) Czecholslavakia is not any more.
Personally I'm looking forward to Latinos reclaiming the southern US states.
The US never confronted Assad/Gaddafi or Hussein openly and I'm not sure he will confront some one much bigger like Putin.
