No one really cares what Russia says or threatens anymore. They're military has been shown up to be a cub not a bear .
That what we germans thought back in the days. Easy going destroying communist army groups one after another. You never know when the russians turn the tide. Never underestimate a Foe. War is always evolving, if its dragged on like this. See what happened when the russians were underestimating ukraine capabilities.
The russian military just made France into the second largest country in Europe with 80k soldiers.
