    That’s the part where it gets interesting. Either they commit to blowing the plant or not. If they do, we’ll see Article V activated and the war will be over.

    If they don’t, this would be the smartest move though as said very aptly in the beginning of the war by a Ukrainian soldier “thank god they’re so fucking stupid” so I tend to think it will happen just out of incompetence.

        yes and no… NATO would decimate Russian troops in Ukraine in a matter of days via long range missiles and air power. It’s just a matter of what the Russian response would be.

          That’s not how this works. They could certainly soften them, but if all it took was missiles and artillery Russia would own Ukraine by now
