I guess that they will, in an act of revenge, set fire to Boeing HQ and Airbus HQ.

A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you are talking some real money!

...golly. Russian MIR at work.
I am glad to see you back since I'd not "seen" you for a bit. As you are old I was afraid that maybe you had become dead; am most pleased that this is not the case.
There's another way to read this.
That they intend to ratchet it up to WMD (first gas...)
I am not sure, but that is one way to see the signal they are sending.
It also might be bluster.
Putin made first public ceasefire proposal to Ukraine/NATO1. must withdraw from Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhya and Kherson
2. Ukraine’s refusal to join NATO
3. Nuclear-free status of Ukraine
4. All sanctioned on Russia lifted ​​​​​​
5. New territories and Crimea are forever with the Russian Federation
I think that this is called "an opening position" in a negotiation.
Remember how many years the Paris Peace Talks went on (over Viet Nam) and how many positions were offered and taken down?

(FWIW, have you ever been involved in a labor/management dispute? Similar tactics are used ...)
