I think, also, that faced with a similar situation with a NATO member as the target, the whole process would be different. NATO isn't going to wait for an invasion before responding, IMO. Pretty quickly after there is an obvious build-up of military equipment at the border with Latvia, I expect NATO would start matching it tank-for-tank. Might as well make it clear that even without nuclear weapons it's going to be a bloody fight.

> I expect NATO would start matching it tank-for-tank I think you're being very optimistic here. Before the invasion, there were so many people in saying Putin was just bluffing. Certain US media, US political party. Ukraine tried downplay the risk. Even Germany had to get their arm twisted to do sanctions after it happened.

NATO activated the NATO Response Force for the first time in Alliance history. That's around 40,000 troops moved into forward deployment positions. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/topics_49755.htm https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/topics_49755.htm
