Russia has practiced delivering a retaliatory nuclear strike

I've noticed that too.

The threads about hatred for the west, posturing, and sad chest beating continues, it must be a Russian thing as Putin does the same??

Weird. I thought the OP sounded more like American propaganda, actually. A caricature. Nothing like Putin actually talks, if you listen to him. I suppose it could be a parody, or perhaps entirely serious -- don't know don't care. It's all pretty obviously a non-issue.
