Honestly, is there a difference between civilians being targeted by conventional weapons rather than chemical weapons? I know chemical weapons sound worse but dead is dead.

I think NATO only responds with military action if Russia fucks up and attacks a NATO country. Then all bets are off.

But the longer Russia continues to destroy the infestructure of Ukraine, the more difficult it will be to ever normalize relations with them.
