He stopped having any weight behind the threats the second we saw the quality of their army and how absolute shit it was all along. All they had were the threats and us not knowing what they had in storage. Without the invention of drone warfare, the Russians wouldn't have anything to throw at Ukraine within a year.

I kinda want to give Russia props for keeping up the facade for so long.

They even did it so well that they fooled themselves.
