It's a catch-22 when you face Russia. If you win the war, a maddened Putin will probably unleash nuclear weapons. And, if you don't win, well, Ukraine is lost. Utah Senator Mitt Romney says if Russia does resort to nuclear weapons, NATO would then be legal to step into the war and could obliterate Putin's war force.
Both NATO and the UN should be looking at the gravity of the situation and seeking to determine if Russia has already committed offenses that would allow them to enter the war. You don't wait until the nuclear weapons are unleashed before stepping in. If they cannot find anything in their existing charters to warrant entry in the war, NATO and and the UN should consider suspending their charters.
Or, maybe even disregarding them. If you go through the process of amending your charter, Russia will be watching and will unleash the nukes before you can get around to entering the war.
