you don't make a threat that you don't act upon later, this undermines your credibility

edit: you also don't make unclear threats for the same reason, especially when it comes to nukes

    I guess I was being charitable. I would not classify many of them as threats at all. Though some clearly are, which is dangerous and reprehensible. But this list is highly exaggerated and gives a false impression of Russian behavior unless you read the individual fine print.
