Speaking of saber rattling, I found this quote mildly amusing:

"lately"? I mean, if you're saying repetetive nuclear threats for 2 years + since starting a war with Ukraine, then sure?
Even Yeltsin made a few nuclear threats in his time.
And frankly those threats were more meaningful, with all the bravado of today Yeltsin's poor depressive Russia was much stronger militarily than the one we have.
