We (the people) should probably be at least one of the governments.

I don't know how these decisions are actually made, but I would think there'd be at least one government with one military team that would willingly rescue him.

If anyone is in the military, what's the feeling when these kinds of things happen? It seems like there should be brave people volunteering for those kinds of rescue missions where someone really needs their help.

I imagine they feel similarly powerless. Sending brave people in there would necessarily force a military confrontation with Russia, which I think everyone would agree is a very bad idea.
