If they are telling the truth about Putin wanting to reconstruct the old Soviet Union complete with it's Warsaw Pact buffer zone between Russia and NATO, then it's a safe bet that he will escalate no matter what we do. He HAS to escalate to get the buffer zone, since a number of those former Warsaw Pact nations are now NATO nations, and an attack on any one of them would trigger Article 5 of the NATO charter.
I still can't understand why folks are carrying on about those Polish MIGs. It's my understanding that Ukraine already has aircraft on bases that they have not even attempted to use yet, so why would NATO agonize over sending them more aircraft that they will not use?
Unless it's just more smoke and mirrors.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
