I honestly think Putin’s biggest mistake would be threatening the US/NATO in any way.
Right now, this country is divided which most certainly aids his objectives
On the other hand, an existential threat is going to galvanize Americans and result in at least 2-3 more unified country than before
One thing we’ve shown over the years is the ability to put our own issues on hold to confront threats against us. In a war with Russia, Brandon suddenly becomes President Biden. Even though we’d lose a non-nuclear war, we still win by becoming a more unified country.
I truly hope we don’t come to blows over this. We really need to back off Russian borders and start keeping promises (even verbal). I’d fully expect our government to go to war with Russia if they tried putting troops in Mexico

1. Russia-Ukraine ‘minor incursion’
Perhaps the most startling comment of the evening was Biden's response to a question about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Biden said that while he believes an invasion is imminent, the United States is prepared to impose significant economic consequences should Russia move forward. But, he clarified, a "minor incursion" by the Russians would elicit a softer response from the U.S. than that of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
"Biden is attacking the legitimacy of American elections while signaling Putin to try a ‘minor incursion’ in Ukraine. None of this is normal. None of this is OK," National Review senior writer Dan McLaughlin responded.
"Biden just appeared to okay a ‘minor’ Russian incursion of Ukraine. So, invasion of an independent neighbor nation is bad. An incursion is OK with this president," conservative commentator Andrew Malcolm agreed.
