On a weekly basis, some Russian officials threathening the West with nuclear warfare, with the result that a good part of "western politicians" are starting to shake in their boots. Propaganda at it's best.
As opposed to some high ranking western politicians, Tsar Vladimir is not stupid. Him knowing well that a possible "nuclear response" would also turn large parts of Russia into a contaminated waistland for the next 1000 years.
Under such circumstances, it would be hard "to make Russia great again". (his main objective). We can stop shaking in our boots as far as this is concerned.
- Much easier for Tsar Vladimir to hack the european electric power grid. No doubt, state sponsored russian hackers are working on it as I write, while anti hacker western "defenders" are always one step behind them.
With the power grid down, this will be a good time for Europeans to start shaking in our boots, as opposed to some re-ocurring propagandist nuclear threads, issued by some "minor" Russian officials.
