I don't see anyone who matters taking the idea of direct military action against Russia seriously; it has been made pretty clear that that is not on the table, though some awkward times could certainly lie ahead. I would object to the use of obsolete cold-war terminology such as "the West;" no such entity exists any more, and the Iron Curtain and the great ideological divide of  1917-1989 are long gone. The present situation involves Russia, the EU, and the US; at least call the players by their proper names.
