I'm not sure what type of sanctions we can put on Russia if countries outside of NATO won't sbide by them. Meaning China. Maybe the Middle East.

I think if Putin goes into Ukraine, NATO will have to use military force. I don't think Russia wants to show the world how out of date their military is.

I could be wrong. Seems like we could make some very strategic hits on Moscow that would make Putin look weak.
