No need. Just 1 or 2 specific point would do.
antagonizing the US and Europe is the way to win domestic support.
This is not because of seeking public support. Russia's now is a major exporter of mineral goods what likens it rather to Saudi Arabia than to Europe & the USA. Europe wants cheap prices Russia would like high - a very simple issue why Russia cannot agree with Europe on this.
Take weapon sales. Russian military can't afford buying the staff while the military industry wants orders. The staff can't be sold to the NATO countries, so it's sold to Pakistan/China/Arabian countries. Since China may pose a threat we sell mainly naval equipment to them which woudn't be used against Russia.
The military industry is an asset by itself especially the experienced engineering staff. To keep the asset we need to train more, so ->orders->sales to the countries the USA don't like.
OK. Whats the point of threatening Estonia about moving a statue IN ESTONIA? Does anyone outside of Russia complain when Russia moves one of its statues?
Why is Russia threatening to target Europe with nuclear missiles if Poland and the Czech Republic allow the US to position missile shields in their countries? It’s almost funny since the threats demonstrate more effectively than anything just exactly WHY the missile shields are necessary. Namely that Putin is crazy and crazy people with nuclear missiles are dangerous.
By the way, these are rhetorical questions. I don't expect you to answer them because the only context in which these actions make any sense is that Putin has determined that threatening the west is popular with the Russian public. I guess the average Russian wasn't getting enough anger and rage by living peacefully with other countries.
