And of course they’d be in violation of the NPT, which would mean crippling sanctions and possibly a new casus belli for Russia.

Not really new insofar as they're actively trying to use that as a reason. Conversely, zielenski just brought it up recently in the context of 'we gave up the world's 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security guarantees'

I'm not sure what specifically I want Biden to say here. Like, annexing a third of a nominal ally is very bad but he's not going to say we're invading so what is going to just ask putin nicely to leave or we'll continue to criticize and fine your staff?

It's not from nothing Basically going back to USSR Moscow wants to connect anyone wanting Ukrainian independence with the weirdos in Lviv who love their waffen SS grandpas[1]. Meanwhile Zelensky is of course a grandson of a WW2 RKKA vet whose brothers all died in the Shoa, which makes it ultra gross. [1] Morons trying to rehabilitate Bandera doesn't help things.

I wonder what’s the threshold for the next step, and what’s the next sanction level like.
