The EU exclusively, for obvious reasons. Given the total military and economic advantage, the odds for Russia plummet rapidly from desperate to hopeless where the European response begins and ends with holding the frontier. Only a fool invades Russian territory, but then only a psychopath without the will to live attempts to take Europe.
There really is no choice but for the EU to bite the bullet and enforce stiff sanctions on Russia. Trade, especially oil and gas sales are the blood of the new Russia. Starving Putin out will not take too long, but the EU nations will take an economic hit also. Given that they are just recovering from the 2008 financial crisis it is not easy to go back into another so quickly. That is the hold up here.
I have to disagree with you there. I think given the sheer scale of WW2 it was inevitable that America got involved and the soldiers who died in that war did so defending the US.
Yep and Nato was in my OP but forgot to put them in my poll lol
We got involved in that war by provoking them into attacking us so that we can go oh look they attacked us first so we should do something.
I'm sorry?Sounds tough. Does it applies though?
I'm sorry?
Of course. They're not stupid. Putin's a puppet, as with all 'leaders'. His people will rein him in if he goes too far. Look what they did to Yeltsin the moment he mouthed the magic words.Would Russia takes the statement seriously that "Only a psychopath not caring to live would venture conquering Europe?"

A direct military incursion into sovereign European territory?I fear they may be stupidly confident with hubris and willing enough to try and test nevertheless.

We're in the process of assimilating those very satellites. Even were it not so, Russia's lack of capacity stands, regardless.No they may use their satellites in Euope that started WW1 for instance.
1. USA the obvious choice for many reasons. Largest military, one of the worlds economic superpowers, has the most to lose from an economic/ social world breakdown, champion of freedom and of course the top dog on the playground who would rather not go back to the days of the Cold War. However many would argue that the US is weary of any kind of conflict whether it be militarily or diplomatic and many American voters would rather stay out of the conflict all together.
