What this does, obviously, is move the overton window, making SOME lethal violations of NATO soverignty and defense acceptable. Russia uses this tactic to push the "red lines" further out, which allows for yet more lethal "whoopsies". It's the "I really really mean it this time" game of chicken with Russia teabagging NATO.

If this mess is a video game then NATO is the Pro-Gamer giving their young up and coming cousin Ukraine advice while it plays a PVP match against its older brother Russia. Russia used to be a ranked player, although allegations about cheating still abound, but NATO is The Ranked Player and everyone, even Russia, knows what will happen if NATO takes the controller from Ukraine.
