Still, where's the line drawn? Would NATO wait until one of its own member countries (Poland, Romania) is directly threatened before they nut up? Or are they going to engage in a modern day "Munich Agreement"?
Personally, I don't think Putin would be willing to risk his entire country's well-being for his military ventures. But I also don't think NATO or America have the gumption to threaten him with it. And I think Putin knows that.
Also, this whole ordeal is a prime example of why North Korea doesn't want to give up their nuclear weapons, and I can't say that I blame them.
