I still can't believe you pulled that far-fetched scenario out of your [BLEEP] and then had the temerity to post it. 

Put down the TDS, Mike, and think instead of feel.

No, I don't think Russia would attack a country we had a security deal with.

I do think they would attack a country that we only had a mineral rights deal with.

If the mineral rights deal is a de facto security deal, and is advertised as such to the world, the Russians wouldn't dare attack. 

Thems the bonuses when you're the most powerful country on the planet. We can throw our weight around. I know that's hard to believe after four years of meat puppet and that trainwreck administration which loudly proclaimed the U.S. are pushovers and presented us as the world's doormat, but it's not like that now.   

However, I will concede your point if another impotent Democrat gains office. In that case, Ukraine would be the least of our worries and it would be left to Europe to do its duty. But that's doubtful considering the puling, supine ideology they've embraced.
