From an outside observers perspective. Generally If the Russians have nothing big in the Pipeline. They talk a big game and rattle sabers. If they go radio silent. That’s when you can expect large movements or possible game changing operations. That seems to have been the general trend of the war from it’s outset. Their invasion was preceded by them going quiet.
If Putins making those threats. My best guess they don’t have anything prepared yet that they are expecting to be a game changer at any rate. There is of course the possibility of unexpected breakthroughs etc. But they aren’t readily expecting or planning any.
Though they’re certainly moving equipment around and stockpiling somewhere. As the Line Units currently engaged seem to increasingly be getting older equipment. If social media coverage of the conflict is any indication.
Which suggests new equipment, replacement equipment, and any captured and repurposed Ukrainian Equipment is going somewhere else. Instead of being fed back into the line units. As the Russians are many things. But lacking the Parts and resources to stamp out fresh T-Series Tank designs and AKs is not one of them. So the fact Line Units are apparently getting T-64s pulled out of Mothball and even allegedly T-55s. Along with beat to hell surplus Rifles. Suggests the new equipment is going somewhere.
Put me in the "Trump and Putin are working together, no matter how it looks" column.
Agreed, too much bowing up back and forth at each other, looks more like optics.
They could.
FAFO
been wondering whats taking them so long. after all, they did try to take out Putin and Trump.
Trump is unable to control Zelensky, who is a war monger and stark raving mad!

Agreed.
However, I would add, as was so elegantly put in the movie Hunt for Red October: Russians don't go to the can, without a plan, son.
There is also another consideration: Gold revaluation and the position of the FED. See: Kinesis: https://rumble.com/v6qzee2-doge-races-to-repatriate-us-gold-lftv-ep-215.html?e9s=src_v1_upp
There is more going on behind the scenes
