Yup, the 40,000 foot view.
There are some negatives. Yes, Zelly is a weirdo. Yes, Ukraine is corrupt and so is RUssia and so are we. Yes, the Ukes gave up their nukes in the Budapest Agreement, and were stupid to do so. Yes, the battle lines are converging on the oil & gas reserves. No, Russia has not invaded any NATO member.
Yes this thing could go on for years. With that possibility in mind, do ya think Ukraine will join NATO or not? Will they sign away territory for peace and permanent vassalhood?

My opinion is that it is foolish to try to predict the outcome at this point.
