Were Russia not a nuclear power, I'd agree and wonder if this whole operation wasn't a gambit to destroy Russia's military in the Ukraine, leaving them vulnerable to attacks from other fronts. Then Western powers invade to impose their long-desired partitioning plans - where to the victors go the spoils.
But Russia is a nuclear power and you can't engage in direct wars of conquest or "regime change" against them. Unless there are highly placed traitors who are planning to secure the launch sites... maybe Putin himself is part of the West's plans, though I guess his ego would prevent that.
