You guys are getting way ahead of yourselves. This is not going to happen; Putin is very aware of the costs of even going into eastern Ukraine; that's why he hasn't yet. Ukraine's military response in the past two days has made it less likely that he ever will. Putin's actions in the past couple of months have been a crime of opportunity; he sees a chance too easy to pass up: but raise the potential costs, even a little, and he's liable to back down.
