A comment on Biden says he's now convinced Putin has decided to invade Ukraine. Parent comment
Yes, it could be bad. But it would take time for NATO to mobilize a substantial force. Things could cool a bit in the meantime.
Maybe, we'd see some skirmishes in the air. Maybe NATO would enforce a no-fly zone like it was done in Libya?
Probably, it would start a new cold war, where the west increasingly isolate Russia.
Ironic, since Russian fear of being surrounded and isolated by NATO is often cited as the Russian motivation.
This whole thing is stupid. It'll only make Russia more poor. Which is why I suspect they won't invade.
