It is a very serious situation, and there is a real risk of a conflict breaking out. I just don't see how it would be in Russia's or Europe's interest for things to go that way. On the other hand, US directly benefits from a war in Ukraine. This is a fantastic article providing some useful background on why US is escalating tensions.
