Will NATO escalate this?

Doubt it, as the US did not even apply sanctions against Russia, only against the breakaway regions. And Ukraine is NOT part of NATO.

It was a fait accompli any way, as the breakaway regions was effectively, already under Russian control.

And this move, means Ukraine's admission into NATO will be impossible.

So Russia was able to achieve what it wanted (secure its border) without having to invade Ukraine and causing the deaths of tens of thousands.

Any way, the world will breathe a sigh of relief that we didn't end up with a nuclear war.

They have no choice. The Nord-2 gas pipe is a game changer.and bypasses Ukraine and Poland entirely and has the capacity to switch off the Nord-1 system entirely. If Russia occupies Ukraine, it would be good because they will build gas and nuclear powerstations and supply cheap power the Europe, which is what everyone wants. And develop mining and industry.
