I also have concerns NATO may be showing its hand a bit too much. I really hope we don't push Russia to do something extreme. If they already feel like they are fighting the entire west, they might not hold back.

Judging by the growing dissent in Russia, I would venture to bet Putin’s supporting cast is dwindling. The Russians may be bold and reckless, but they’re not stupid. If Putin ever started pushing for action against the West, especially if it included anything hinting at nuclear, he would most likely have an accident or sudden health issue. That’s how they do things.
