but have to go, I'm going to take a look later
only now noticed the interview mentioned in that DefenseNews article had appeared in

Everyone knows nukes are no bluff. Especially nukes from the few countries that have various abilities to deliver them. No one is calling it a bluff. Which begs the question, why does Russia feel threatened enough to show their world ending abilities? Are they so far behind in conventional ways, they feel threatened enough by the USA that they need to show off things no one else bothers showing? No one wants to resort to these things and the idea is to avoid it. Russia is basically saying to USA, back off or else you risk provoking us in escalating to full scale war which we cannot hope to win at all so have to resort to nukes.
This move may explain why they felt quite comfortable operating in Ukraine and Syria without US/ NATO intervention. Until recently USA didn't do much militarily. This could possibly explain why Russian commanders felt more comfortable sending huge numbers of mercenaries in without strong air support. They may have believed the US would abandon their position instead of escalating, like they have done so far in Ukraine and Syria. I'm refraining from making any judgement on which side is more in the right because I'm not sure myself, but just from current events, it's quite possible this is the case. At least it fits the narrative. Anyway, now that US has responded, Russia is reacting by gesture and action.

Maybe because Putin is running for re-election?
What are some of the prominent candidates he's running against? Exactly. What person actually believes he will not win? Xi certainly learned a lot on how to make himself lifelong supreme chairman from his Russian friend. I'm not necessarily against these guys because I don't know better, but I don't believe Putin will be anything but President of the motherland for a very long time. The Russian elections will place more media attention on Russia and Russian actions. The elections have nothing to do with Russian actions and Russian actions have nothing to do with elections because Putin is the man who will win... by a landslide the likes of which only rigged elections provide. Not saying it's rigged because it may not need to be since many Russians genuinely like the man and will support him (true for many around the world outside Russia as well), but the results will be VERY one sided so no point worrying about actions, all of which can be justified or plausibly denied like we've seen in so many events in the last decade. What we can say and will see is western media will spend much effort with slander and attempt to pin many crimes on Putin (fairly or not).
