Given your posting history here? Yeah, calling bull crap.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

There is almost no scenario that the US actively engages Russian forces unless they cross a NATO border.
OP's mom jokes and Gary Johnson support? Quite the stretch (like your mom) but ok...
Fake news, that’s the line at your Mom’s house last night.
Two words...plausible deniability. "Arrest" a couple of Ukrainian-American teens and claim they did it.
Yeah, a technical failure of having a bunch of anti-aircraft rounds shot through it.
They are more worried about reprisals if we do that. When it comes to cyber attacks, anything we can do, they can do too.
Grain of salt and all that...
Putin has declared that pulling Swift in his books would be an act of war. Not sure it would be in Putins best interest right now to follow through with that threat.
I went to Ukraine in 2011. I'm emailing my tour guide in Dnipropetrovsk.
She says they will fight Russia.

This is the only chance that this war ends early. The Russian people stand up and revolt.
I have serious doubts how long the Russian people will accept sending their sons and daughters off to kill or be killed by their cousins. The question will be, what can they do about it?
Ukraine doesn't have to "beat" the Russians straight up here, but the more doubt they sow about the eventual cost of this adventure the better. And the more they resist, the more balls the West will grow, I assume.
Western leaders are split on whether Russia should be ejected from the Swift international payments system, a move that would deliver a heavy blow to the country’s banks and its ability to trade beyond its borders. Boris Johnson, the UK prime minister, on Thursday pushed “very hard” to remove Russia, according to officials, but he admitted to MPs that it was “vital that we have unity” on the issue among western allies. Olaf Scholz, Germany’s chancellor, warned his country had reservations about such a dramatic move and so did the EU, according to officials close to sanctions negotiations. A German official declined to comment, saying only that “all options are still on the table”.
Ergo: this never had ANYTHING to do with "just" Donbas and Crimea
If there was ever any doubt, the US would roll Russia in a conventional war. Sorry comrade Nat.

Putin is picking up bargaining chips now.
That made my heart miss a beat. That is truly frightening to think about. Please don't get to that
