That’s the part where it gets interesting. Either they commit to blowing the plant or not. If they do, we’ll see Article V activated and the war will be over.

If they don’t, this would be the smartest move though as said very aptly in the beginning of the war by a Ukrainian soldier “thank god they’re so fucking stupid” so I tend to think it will happen just out of incompetence.

Thinking Article 5 is just a magic end the war button is naive as all hell

yes and no... NATO would decimate Russian troops in Ukraine in a matter of days via long range missiles and air power. It's just a matter of what the Russian response would be.
