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 repeat this every time someone posts being worried about Putin using nukes.
Putin has a 30 years old lover and handful of small kids with her. All his oligarch supporters have families.
Any use of any nukes results in all of us dying and the few that survive living like rats.
The one and only line that will not be crossed is these oligarchs and their kids living out their lives in bunkers like rats.
It does not even matter that Putins new family is hiding in Switzerland. They would still have to live the rest of their lives like rats.
