and who is going to stop him? you can stop him 2 ways, military and economically by not buying his gas that Europe is addicted and all the U.S. and European companies in Russia to boycott until he stops his aggression. The people in power aren't doing any of the 2, so why should We care?
So you're suggesting war as an option. We really don't want to go there.

The threat of many other countries joining Ukraine militarily might be enough to persuade Putin to pull out and/or negotiate. This could be the only way to get through to him.
Neo-Cons often want war with nations under false pretense. Hence when we went to war with Iraq under a fabricated story of WMDs. Neo-Cons go to war for profit and power. Which is what Putin is doing right now.
Neo-Cons are often on the offensive, not on the defensive.
Since the US isn't directly threatened and has no contractual responsibility to Ukraine, any involvement makes it just as much an aggressor as Russia.
Ukraine is much bigger than Poland or Romania. What makes you think Putin will stop at Ukraine? What makes you think Putin cares what the Russian people support?
He doesn't have the troops to go up against NATO. He has maybe 1 million troops. NATO has 3 times that.
Why doesn’t the U.S. and other countries, such as those in Europe, step in and fight alongside the Ukrainians to stop Russia? It is clear the sanctions being imposed are going to do nothing to stop Russia from taking over Ukraine and likely killing its president and other political leaders?
They are not part of NATO although they have been trying for about 14 years now to get in.
This is in the event that the fighting in Ukraine spills over to NATO countries. Good move but not helping Ukraine at all.
