    I think most likely a targeted bombing campaign, carried out by the NATO forces that have been mustered on Russia’s borders to do so, knocking out Russian air bases and disabling ICBM launch sites.

    There’s always the chance that Russia launches nukes at the West in retaliation and the world ends, but that’d rely on enough Russians preferring the end of their own lives, their family’s lives, and the lives of every person on the planet to … Putin not winning his war.
