Are you sure about that? Given the perceived weakness of the BHO administration by most of the world, would Putin maybe have still tested the NATO resolve?

Putin is a cowboy but I don't believe he would have entered a NATO country.

I highly doubt Obama would (or debatedly should) have the balls to go to war with Russia if Ukraine was in NATO.

NATO is a very dangerous thing for the US.

I think Putin is doing what he thinks he can do and get away with... by testing this Administration and its perceived weakness. Invading a NATO member and forcing other members to invoke Article 5 is something I do not think Putin would have done.

Of course, none of us can be 100% sure of anything in the world of international affairs, I think it's the sensible position to take. But it doesn't matter, considering it's a hypothetical... Ukraine is not a member of NATO, and Russian troops are always stationed in Crimea.
