Direct Threat Thinly Veiled by Expressions of Delusions of Paranoia by Russian Leader - Why He Will Not Stop

Recent televised pronouncements by both the leader of the current government of the United States and his counterpart in the Russian Commonwealth of Independent States; has a tendency to lead one to wonder where this high stakes action of pitching pennies (battle of economically challenging the other side in financial race to economic ruin in anticipation of more catastrophic actions) against the bastions of a primed nuclear standoff; all the while the rest of a world that is frozen in fear watches as contemplations of a post nuclear event scenario moves more closer and closer and no one is prepared for its inevitability.
In case anyone missed it; this Russian declaration alleging American deceptions of Deified Grandeur in world politics that presents its threats to similar Russian ambitions was/is a dare in schoolyard fashion that two inflated egos will be hard to step away from if it gets any more brazen and the point of no return is achieved.
Also watching are the lesser minions of empire that would love nothing less than to topple both the Russian and American dominance in world economic pursuits and engage in post apocalyptic actions of dominance of their own: think this not possible? Is this not why the world is being drawn into what appears to the Papal Holy See's declaration that the Third Global conflict is already in play? And the Russian operation is at its center, posing the ironic question: who will play his game?
