But as Kevin Kline said to Meg Ryan in the movie French Kiss "if something happens, I promise you that you won't feel a thing"... :-) or something like that.
Because, if we don't get nuked, he will claim to be a hero.
He'll also say:
"Good thing I'm here instead of TRUMP"...and...
"If TRUMP was President, we'd all be dead"
..... Yada, Yada.....
He's totally obsessed with all the good that President Trump did for all of us.
NATO is a european-american organization for mutual self-defense.
I have no idea whether NATO would regard a chinese incursion of Taiwan a matter for self-defense. I suppose it would depend on circumstances, but I kinda think not.
is ukraine a member of nato?
is this the first time russia/ussr invaded a european country since nato was established in 1949?
Putin has made his own psychological issues & problems worsened by the historical ressentiment into a genocidal state policy in Russia. The fact that he was allowed to rule a nuclear power and, in part, was aided by the West will need to be addressed after this war.
This is a good point...the west simply enabled Putin...this personality type should have never been allowed to rule a nuclear power. The west turned a blind eye in favor of Russian cheap oil.

We are not in a marriage with Russia. Putin is not a bad husband for whom we make excuses. We are not enablers of other superpower leaders' bad behavior. Putin is where he is because of his entrenched, life-long, and extremely ambitious career as a Machiavellian Russian politician. In the statement "this personality type should have never been allowed to rule a nuclear power,' who exactly is supposed to be the enforcer of such a process of elimination?
Putin is an old KGB operative whose mindset belongs to another, by-gone world. He demonstrates the pitfalls of old men in leadership positions. Of course he is dreaming of the old Soviet Union. No, he doesn't want to take over the world. He just wants the USSR back.
In 1945 the world made a pact "never again" that is applicable here. Putin will not stop at Ukraine....he is a threat to the global order...and fortunately the majority of Americans understand that.
Putin thought he could easily take over Ukraine. He underestimated them. He’s backed into a corner now and is desperate to win at all costs. I don’t put anything past him.
America will give untold taxpayer money to Ukraine… For a disputed, ethnically diverse, very small section of Ukraine.
A country rejected by NATO/EU due to its endless corruption. Well done libs.
