That of course assumes that Putin stops at Ukraine. The point is that this isn't our war.
After the dust settles on the Ukraine war, if Putin still has the capacity to wage war, he will not likely stop with Ukraine. It is by now obvious that a limited incursion into Poland, for example, will not spark a global thermonuclear war.
Ukrainian suffering is both the litmus test and the vaccination against nuclear escalation that Putin needs to contemplate further expansion.
Political alignments aside, if I were based in Europe I would be very, very concerned.

It isn't something one can even have an opinion about. Any more than one can have an "opinion" about India being a part of Asia.
