Why exactly are we within our rights ? Ukraine really is not on our doorstep, at all.
Russia cannot expand very far without bumping into, and going to war with, NATO, not quite the same prospect as taking on one country.

Supplying NATO war planes (dont fool yourself, that is what this would be) is a step to far.
Russia is already doing badly, giving them a legitimate excuse to lash out is a very bad idea.

I'm sure its all great fun in computer games, this is not a game.
