But it's an option in the same way that cutting your foot off, and getting "I heart Adolf" tattooed on your forehead is an option.

So what you are saying is that just because Putin and his cronies are extremely fucking homophobic, people have to leave their entire lives behind?

Democracies will not vote to sacrifice millions of their own citizens to fight and die in some far away country against a decently armed opponent (Russia is not some Third World country ripe for bullying, regime change and economic colonialism) and risk nuclear holocaust.
They'll talk, but they won't do a thing.
Russia on the other hand, with a firm leader at the helm and a nationalistic citizenry, is well-positioned to benefit from this kind of brinksmanship behavior. Putin is playing his cards right, in exact and calculated response to the weakness of the Western allies.
It doesn't matter that the West has more weapons, more money, more technology. Putin knows where they are weak... their political system and the inability of their citizens to stomach a real war. He knows the Vote will keep the West's soldiers a paper tiger.
In the mean time, he's using realpolitiks and careful maneuvering to regain the lost territories of the former Soviet Union. I think in time he will succeed and be remembered as a great Russian leader.
I predict there won't be a war or a Western military intervention. The West only interferes in wars against enemies who can't really fight back except through guerilla tactics. We've seen this in Korea, the West backed out soon after China entered. When the USSR invaded Afghanistan, the USA, despite their rhetoric, did not directly fight the Soviets.
The USA's not going to push against Russia. Worst case scenario, it starts arming rebels (who will later down the road, oppose the USA once their political goals don't align, just like the Taliban in Afghanistan).
That's how I see it.

No. They are saying that Putin and his "people" if they can be called that, are idiots who don't know the rules of the world.

#1: Do not piss off your neighbors without just and appropriate cause.
I agree. War is the upgraded game of politics. Both are needed to run the world.
