As it stands right now, this whole sorry mess is contained...if NATO "wades in" then it won't be and it really will be the start of WW3.
You mean it is contained within boundaries that you are comfortable with. I am not however comfortable with them and the poster makes a very valid point about nuclear blackmail, I am sure many countries will take notice of NATO reticence. Now I am not a warmonger or some crazy person , I am patient and also very confident and hopeful like you that economics will do the trick in a 6-8 more weeks , but it is fair to have a discussion. To simply have the viewpoint we can do nothing 'no matter what happens' because we might be @ war seems weak to me, and contrary to the principles of UN, Nato, EU and general human decency.
