It isn't silly bluffing to raise likes on an internet post. These military maneuvers are used to show adversaries capabilities and to send important signals that continued conduct could lead to something more.

In not saying NATO should stand down, but to pretend that we aren't close to something big starting under the right circumstances is misreading events in a historical context.

It is a bluff, why would Russia want to start a nuclear war with the NATO nuclear powers?

I keep asking you, what is going on that makes Russia want to commit suicide?
