 I am not worried about a conventional attack or even war breaking out. Just them using either nuclear weapons and/or low-level terrorism against the West. I.E Attacking our energy supplies or using a nuclear weapon against a small area of Ukraine. 
If they do that how do we respond without escalating the nuclear risk? I am just hoping China and India join the West in opposition.

 Which is what we hope will happen but what of smaller nuclear weapons? Will that be opposed to enough extent to stop Putin?
