Is a statement of fact necessarily a threat?

“Nice house, hope nothing happens to it.”

“Today, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Germany alone field more divisions than Russia has in its Western Military District. These countries are backstopped by the rest of NATO, including, of course, the United States.”

Don’t fall for the enemy’s puffery.

Would you take it as a threat if someone suggested they could take out your family while you are work?

I probably would.

It is also a statement of fact.

Russian troops would play hell getting into Warsaw in 2 days. Without nukes, I doubt they could do it in 2 months. And that is presuming that the Poles were fighting alone.
