It’s not avoiding it’s scaring the other side into thinking you’ll retaliate 10x and shaming the aggressor by calling out their demonstrated weakness by using the last resort to win against what should have been an easy opponent.

The CIA needs to do its job and turn a Russian oligarch into an assassin because Putin backed himself into a corner, he’s either going to win in Ukraine or be deposed and the date for the endgame is getting closer.
Or NATO is going to have to figure out a way to save face while giving away the annexed regions to come up with a mutually dissatisfying treaty where both sides win something and Putin gets exiled to Elba.

Ukraine is alone right now regarding to their attempts to recover the south of their country, it's now a matter of time till Russia to resort to a heavy handed response based in its territorial claim.
