Unless we're missing something he doesn't have much more to escalate with.

He still thinks the west is scared of Russia, when the war in Ukraine has shown the post soviet bogyman to be as scary as modern day Steven Seagal (an unfit, obese senior citizen who still thinks they are a 30 year old bad ass he portrayed in movies but was always bullshit.)
All they have left is the nuke threat and that can never be acted upon.

I think it's russia's latest attempt at intimidating the USA. There'll be some nuclear related threat or accident in russia, so pootin can say "look at my crazy countrymen wanting to nuke everything! You'd better give us what we want before my crazy countrymen do something crazy!"
And the USA will ignore it, just as they've done a hundred times before with pootin's nuclear threats.
I don’t think it’s so much aimed at intimidating the US/Europe as it is giving additional cover to his allies in politics and media in those countries. It’s also intended for domestic consumption.
Russia’s disaster in Ukraine demonstrates conclusively that they couldn’t take on even a minor regional power, much less a NATO country.
Tankie propaganda. Just another day on Lemmy.
Which had been roundly mocked in the comments for hours before you made yours.
Can't take Ukraine, that's like the US getting our asses humiliated by Canada then threatening China if they don't stop laughing.
Fucking jokes.
who is this Beebe turd, and who pays him to make comments.. this whole article is Russian bullshit propaganda.. "Putin is coming under pressure".. who says? who gives a shit? who is applying the pressure? why do i give a shit? what will they use to escalate, except more threats?
nobody is scared, least of all Joe
"Kremlin hardliners" is just those people who know they should be most frightened right now
Yes, escalate please. It’s about time for Russia to end.
