Russia doesnβt want World War III, it just wants everyone thinking itβs coming. This is diplomacy as karaokeβloud, off-key, and meant to clear the room. Over 300 intercepts in 2025 and weβre still here, bills unpaid, coffee cold. If every intercepted Russian jet meant war, weβd be on World War 29 by now. But no, itβs the same tired bluff: bark like a pit bull, bite like a chihuahua. NATOβs not fooledβthey log the flight, scramble the jets, go back to paperwork. Russiaβs deterrence is basically a toddler banging pots in the kitchen: loud but harmless. The real trick is psychologicalβkeep the West twitchy, keep the headlines screaming. Itβs not strategy, itβs a magic act: distract from weakness with smoke and mirrors. Four times more violations since 2022, but zero studies linking that to actual war. Because war isnβt the pointβthe point is making you believe war is the point. Itβs saber-rattling without the saber, just a cheap tambourine. The ambassadorβs βultimatumβ is a stand-up routine dressed as geopolitics. The jokeβs on anyone who takes it literally. Watch the jets, not the mouthsβthey burn fuel, not credibility.
