If anything is certain in this world, it's that Obama would renege on America's NATO commitments if this did occur.
And, he'd probably have the support of the American people when they realize the potential for nuclear war was at stake.
Sad and scary times.
It's ONLY Obama's weakness that would even put such a scenario on the table.
ONLY that.

Obama wouldn’t even consider using nukes a deterrent and PUTIN KNOWS IT!
Better brush up on your Russian....

He might get to Warsaw, but he’d have to climb over a mountain of dead Russians to get there.

Moscow troops could be in five NATO capitals in two days, boasts Putin
Meh. I give him one day. How many in one day?

No doubt there is going to be a confrontation with the Russia sometime in the future.
And maybe this time it will end in nukes as you suggest might happen.

What's even more worrisome is that our NATO allies are fully aware of this, too, making them much more vulnerable to Russian manipulation. They see what is happening in the Ukraine, as well as the lack of any response. They know their world isn't as safe as it used to be, and they might need to cozy up to the big bad bully on the block if NATO isn't going to protect them.

Not unprecedented. We promised to help out the Hungarians against their communist masters in 1953, and when they rose up, we reneged.

Gosh, Putin has a way with words. In five days Obama might take a stroke or two off his golf game, I wonder if he fudges his score.
To: Mariner
This is total nonsense, and is for the gullible.
Russia doesn’t have the ability to launch a large invasion against NATO, it doesn’t have the muscle, or the Army structure, or depth to pull off anything like this.
I don’t know why people don’t realize that this is not the old Russia of 25 years ago.

Obamao does not believe in brinksmanship, a la Kennedy and the Cuban Missile crisis, or Reagan’s arms buildup.

Then he might as well stay there because there’d be nothing left for him or his troops.

I think even the Russians are going to start seeing Poopin for what he is in the not too distant future.
You don’t threaten this sort of thing. Does he really want to F U this century just the U. S. S. R. did the last one?
Things are stable. Leave well enough alone.
We spent 60 years with Russia controlling the Eastern Block.
Take your rusty old curtain and cram it up you A Poopin.

". . . according to Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko." Candyman is a BS artist just like Caliph Obama, I don't believe a thing the jerk says. He's the same guy who said he'd negotiate with Eastern Ukraine regions right after he was elected then declared the start of the "ATO" a few days later.
He says whatever he thinks will make it more likely that other countries will throw good money after bad in Ukraine.
