Russia has practiced delivering a retaliatory nuclear strike

soar looser

I agree with you that he's a soar loser albeit for a different reason. He should have done that earlier, in 2022. I doubt it will change the situation on the front line now. In spite of all that, we the Poles, applaud this decision. I think most of the EU leaders support that too.

It doesn't look like bravery though. I guess if Democrats had won this election, they would continue pussyfooting around Putin. It's easier to take the risk if you already have nothing to lose.

As for Putin's usual threats, I wonder how the guy who was freaking out about Covid has the balls to start a nuclear war. Perhaps, I will wait and wrap my little head around that when that ever happens. If I have enough time, that is.
