MAD depends upon sanity, in leaders and those advising leaders...so when somebody says something like this...it can be something that maintains sanity or unleashes insanity. Boasts like this can go many ways. Your potential adversary can take it as a challenge, and respond with new offensive and defensive weapons and the tit for tat can escalate. This is what Reagan did to collapse the Soviet Union. Or, an adversary can see this as a first-strike threat and adopt a quicker first-strike solution, or they can say you are bluffing and if you are then the status quo is unchanged...if not would you show your cards or just show by launching? To me this is a dangerous boast, one which could have been communicated honcho to honcho, or through back-channels. It has the air of desperation and bluff, but with nukes such recklessness is unusual outside of batshyt crazy states like NK, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran and the like.

He's FOS he has nothing like he claims. He's butthurt over the pounding his mercs took a couple of weeks ago.
Libertas:
I think that plays into part of it.

Don't be disputin' the Mad Monk RazzPutin. He might get mad and take his shirt off--blind you with his lily white hide.

No thanks to the Hildebeast who lined her own pockets while making our enemies stronger.
