NATO intervenes.
Russia launches nukes.
NATO nukes Russia.
China picks up the now radioactive pieces.

NATO won't intervene, nukes aren't in the picture.
Theoretically, if Obama is particularly gung-ho about bombing things in the name of democracy, he can order airstrikes against Russian targets. Unfortunately for the USAF, crews of Russian AA systems won't be drinking vodka and not paying attention to blips on the radar.

I very much doubt that. The US's threats have been too vague and pacifistic for bombing Russian targets.

Plus Obama's always been something of a pragmatist. Nets him a lot of criticism from within his party.

And the other party I might add.

No this is Ukraine's thing I think. And we'll see whether the central government will continue to lose ground, the situation will stabilize, or Kiev will fight back.

And he's already said that military action is off the table.

Now if Dubya were still at the wheel....of course, he looked into Putin's eyes and "saw his soul".  ::)

Things are going even more pear shaped, apparently there was a street battle that erupted in Donetsk and they chased off the riot police, also Ukraine is on even higher alert for invasion.

Apparently the shaky rumors about the 2 May assault were true.

And they are using attack helicopters and artillery. Oh god.

Good luck guys, avoid causalities, avoid killing civilians, neutralize as many terrorists as possible

(PS there are little to no information about the operation barring Russian media  and Internet rumors. Don't believe in MLRS and other heavy artillery  stuff because that is nonsense)

Oh look, OMON cracking down on peaceful protests in Russia.
No, no. Peaceful protesters are shooting down helicopters in Slavyansk (at least in Russian TV)

Those are dangerous terrorists
