Global concerns lead to global wars, and I it seems like it may be in Putin's own best interests to start one..., in his mind, to limit the reach of U.S. power.
Once started, it probably won't really matter who wins, except to the military purists.
Letting Putin take Ukraine, or China take Taiwan for that matter, might postpone that global war, but it would certainly change the reach of American power.
I don't see the U.S. stopping anything by limited war, whereas Russia is in a position to gain from one.
