How long? How long before Europe realizes that russia will not stop and is an existential threat to Europe?

It is obvious that russia is not going to give up and go home. On the contrary, russia is pushing All-In and fully intends to exercise military power to achieve its expansionist goals. (This is like watching WW3 in slow-motion.) Western engagement with russia is going to happen. It's not"If".... it's "when". So... how much more damage will the west allow before they FINALLY say "OK, that's enough"?

Come on man. By the looks of things, no they won't stop in Ukraine for a good long while.

But if Russia couldn't (or didn't want to) even sweep across Ukraine like it was nothing, they are many light years away to pose any kind of "existential" threat to the Western world (nuclear war aside, of course).

The sanctions will never go away and will ultimately collapse Russia. There is no way around this, their leader failed miserably already and has no way to turn it around. It's just a matter of time until they are defeated and Putin is either dead or removed from office.
