    If test results are expected to be partially falsified by corrupt executors - then relying on your actual enemy to deliver those results makes some sense.

      Oh yeah. No doubt. That’s not what I’m saying. Putin is claiming this is a measured retaliation and not a test they would have conducted no matter what. Which is hilarious.

        Yes, but he also is very capable of appearing miserable where he actually isn’t. That should be considered. Homeless dogs are not very formidable enemies, but they can kill you if you turn your back on them. House pests are not, but it’s sometimes a tremendous effort to get rid of them.
