But how does that draw in Russia?
Personally, I have a difficult time seeing Putin getting drawn in to anything that doesn't involve a direct attack on Russia, and he tries to avoid even that, as witness his opposition to a Hillary Clinton presidency.
That said, I suppose if the domestic situation in Russia became sufficiently fragile, and some key person were killed that was important politically, he might be drawn in.
I think Russia is more likely to be drawn in by a European conflict, for example if Ukraine heated up again and got out of hand. The issue there is that it's France that controls the nuclear weapons, not Germany.
