Using NATO forces to attack Russia risks nuclear weapon use.........Yes, no, maybe so?
No. However if an insurgency movement builds, we should support it with covert and overt aid short of sending troops. Turning Ukraine into Russia's Afghanistan Quagmire Part 2 might bloody Putin's resolve.Yes, no, maybe so?
What happens if they invade Poland?Is it worth sending a bunch of peoples' kids to die?
Is it worth the risk of nuclear war and the fall of homo sapien?
And if it is, then how do we possibly justify not invading China to save the Uighurs? How about all the other global conflicts involving a clear aggressor?
NO.Yes, no, maybe so?
Putin already threatened us with a nuclear response if we did. His exact words were: “consequences you have never faced in your history” for “anyone who tries to interfere with us.” so is interfering with Putin's invasion worth nuclear Holocaust?Yes, no, maybe so?
Yes it's an honest question. If Putin gets bold enough and he does invade a NATO country what happens then?Seriously?
They're in NATO.

Those questions you ask still applies.

Putin already confirmed his goal of taking over every Baltic state. Poland is on his list. Stopping him now would stop that goal.Seriously?
They're in NATO.
Cowing will not work. This is not the middle east we cannot just walk away since Putin wants what the Soviets had and their goals. It is the US that he is after. We are already in ww3.Never. An armed conflict with Russia is way too dangerous. It could result in nuclear war.
Putin wants the old Soviet empire back. Our options are really limited.
Maybe there will be an insurgency, maybe not. A large minority of the Ukrainian population does feel loyalty to Russia, so it's really difficult to anticipate how the aftermath of this invasion will play out.
Weakness....Putin can't invade NATO without triggering Article V and WW3. It's as simple as that.
