Nothing is going to happen just as nothing happened before, if Russia wants to quickly act it would be the one to strike first.

I wouldn't call this nothing, I think instead its indicative of how warfare is being played out in a setting where mutually assured destruction has been digested as a concept and the opportunity cost of conventional warfare is being weighed up. What we're seeing here is classic limited warfare or salami slice warfare in a bid to destabilize opponents. The invasion of Crimea for example wasn't nothing. This is a pariah state that is blackmailing Europe because we took the insane decision to gamble too much on natural gas to even power our electrical grids fully rather than go with nuclear. As someone who voted Green (mostly because they are usually the only ones I could trust) this is exactly the kind of situation that exposes how naive most Green politicians are when it comes to big geopolitics.
