Much as I've been very reluctant for the West to get involved in yet another conflict on foreign soil, I am seriously worried that this view is going to gain more traction over the coming weeks and months.
Absolutely, and I'm one of them. I'm getting to the point where I'm thinking that if Russia wants a real war (and they are certainly looking for one now) then let's show them we are prepared to give them one. That in itself may convince Putin's mates that it's time to call it a day.
