I think NATO would look the other way for a stray missile that could in any way be construed as an accident. Open war between NATO and Russia, weak as it is, could be disastrous for Europe, if not the whole world.
It's much safer to ruin Russia by giving weapons to Ukraine while skirting around open conflict. It's a way of depleting Russian resources (manpower, military hardware, money, mindshare, etc) while keeping the possibility of nukes to a relative minimum.

- aforwardslash 5y agoWars by proxy only work when they arent on your backyard. What NATO seems to be doing is taking "military time" to prepare and reinforce their ranks, while ukrania depletes some russia's military resources. Meanwhile winter is almost over, and Moscow would be a nice tank ride from ukraine, if NATO actually lacked the capability of turning Moscow into a parking lot from afar (they dont). But for things to get back to the way they used to be, either Russia changes the regime or Russia changes size. It will happen one way or the other.
