Vlad is bluffing
He will not launch nukes and if he did, his order would likely be ignored.
By the Russians that have been cancelled and spit on by the entire Western world?
The same warmongering jerk neocons in the Europeeing Onion that are calling ordinary Russians "orcs" and denying Grandma Babushka her eye medicine "because Russian"?
You might find that Pootie is the moderate in this world of hate the corrupt Western scum have created...
Ask the Polish and Bulgarian idiots if Vlad is bluffing.

Alex Christoforou: Poland is trying to find ways to kind of patchwork their natural gas needs and and so this is what Poland is doing.
Poland said that it could source gas via two links with Germany including a reverse flow on the Yamaha pipeline.
They've said that they can link with Lithuania, which has an annual capacity of 2.5 bcm and they're going to open on May 1st and interconnect her with the Czech Republic for up to another 1.5 bcm.
Poland is also saying they can add another five to six bcm via a link with Slovakia. It can be shipped in.
And pg is also saying they can import six bcm per year via LNG terminals and they're also working to to get another three bcm via Norway as well. Another three to ten - up to ten bcm via Norway.
So basically what Poland is doing is that they're just trying to patch up some sort of system where they can do away with gas coming from Russia directly to Poland and get that gas via five or six different alternative methods, but at the end of the day, most of the gas that's going to be coming to Poland via these these alternative methods is still going to be Russian gas.
That's the kicker to all of this, so Poland is going to be paying a hell of a lot more for the same Russian gas that they would have gotten if it just came directly via the pipeline from Russia.
Instead they're going to work it via Norway and via Lithuania and ship through Slovakia and using reverse gas flows via Germany and all of these ridiculous things, which is just going to end up costing the Polish consumer and the Polish businesses a lot lot more.
Same Russian gas, just five, ten times more. That's it. So make sense out of that
