Its all about posturing, and there are some strong words comming from both sides as we speak..

So sorry, i dont agree eith your glibness today.
True re. WW1 etc
And there will be some posturing. Let's wait for Russia's response, that should be "interesting". Putin uses this type of stuff mainly for domestic consumption (warning for enemies, cause for nationalists to vote for him, maybe even an election turnout boost). The narrative of Russia as a victim of the West plays very well there.

Since you turned into a statesman, someone else has to be glib
