the West doesn't nothing because we don't want nuclear war, he can get away with taking over any neighboring country.

We have to remind him we have nuclear weapons too. We are at an existential inflection point, one reminiscent of Chamberlain's talks with the Nazi's at the eve of WWll.

A line, reluctantly as we are to think about it, has to be drawn.

He knows Russia will be blown off the map by a force the size never seen before on this planet. At that point, all bets will be off and a massive coalition of nearly the entire world would join forces to end that asshole's existence.
