I learned one thing from poker- when they act strong, they are weak, when they act weak, they are strong.

It is mystifying to me how english speaking media reports on obvious desperate bluffing from Russia as if it was a sign of strength. You are absolutely right, the only reason for Russia to bluff and bluster this hard is if it is trying to disguise an unsustainable weakness and loudly convey such an indefinite comfort with the status quo that it somehow distracts from the fact that the Russian military is crumbling to pieces.
