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.

West was scared of Russia. Their poker game was good for a long time, but we finally called.

We never called, he called because he misread his 6 as a 9 and didn't realize he had a busted straight.
