The UK and US won't go to war with Russia unless/until a NATO country or other country we have an alliance with is attacked. Nor should they. Ukraine is not one of those countries. Politically, it's that simple.

Is this the uk and us being world police though? Or would it be them acting on russias attempts at policing the world.
