Russia is massively bogged down in Ukraine despite the fact that Western support for Ukraine is limited to funds and equipment and the use of that equipment is subject to significant limitations in terms of its use beyond the immediate theatre of conflict.

If they touch a NATO member western support will not be limited. NATO airpower and stand-off weaponry will be used to its full extent and Russian conventional forces will be overwhelmed.

This does not make me feel relaxed since the only option open to Russia at that point will be a bucket of sunshine.

I'd like to think that Putin and his cronies are not nuts enough to go down the route of attacking a NATO member but I really fear that they might be.

It is time for the west to nail its colours to the mast and end its indifference to the situation in Ukraine. This needs to stop in Ukraine or it will end up needing to be dealt with in Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania or Poland.
