What exactly is it that you want NATO to do, as this is not necessarily a NATO issue?

Bomb the fuck out of them.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Did I say that I want NATO to do anything? La-La-Land referred to the alternate reality that is Russian state media.

Thanks to all this Slavic bullshit, I had to change all my bank passwords.

I ain't waiting for the banks to tell me to change them.

The way I see it, Russians can pull this de-facto but undeclared war bullshit indefinitely, and they know it.  It can only become an official war if Ukraine declares war, because Russians won't, and what in the world would Ukraine win by doing that?

Yep.  The only hope is that it becomes such a drain for the Russians that it becomes too costly to continue.

They're somewhat gimped, though, because this way they won't be able to use air assets without being too obvious.

Sure they could. Just say that the seperatists bought those assets at the local hardware store.

Or that it was the Ukrainian airforce. They are already doing it with the Malaysian flight.

Good. I expect they will leave Hungary out though, as the government is in the pockets of Putin.

the NATO commander guy has cancelled his press event for today, maybe indication that some shit is really going down and NATO members are discussing what to do?

Probably due to the NATO emergency meeting tomorrow.
According to BBC, there will also be a meeting of the UN security council today.

Looks like Russia is on the verge of calling the whole charade off.  Damn.
