All I'm saying is that what he said has no bearing on whether or not Putin attacks. If Putin, mistakenly IMO, thinks he can weather the economic hit, he'll attack. If he doesn't, he won't. Everybody involved knows there isn't going to be a war with NATO unless things get messy and spill over to a NATO neighbor. Ukraine is the most upset because they still think they will one day be in NATO. I get why they want that, see the above, but they aren't getting that and again, everyone involved knows this.
