I’m not worried about nukes right now.
Putin has the same method as Trump, if he encounters resistance he just raise the stakes.
So I’m more worried that he would do an operation against the Baltic States or Finland and just dare NATO to fire back. If they do, he has the perfect propaganda weapon to get the Russian people behind him. Then the economic sanctions, the pullout of western companies etc, gets the logical explanation that it was preparations before the attack by NATO on Mother Russia. Thus saving his regime.
