Not really a bluff or not a bluff.
Everyone has forgotten, but about a week before the start of the SMO, a short cell phone video surfaced of two big nuclear mushroom clouds. The location was unknown but some suspected Siberia. I think I posted about it here.
As I interpret it, the message to TPTB (and to paraphrase Eric Swalwell) was: "Russia has nukes.Too many of them. But they're legit.”
That being said, I think Putin is 99% sure it will never come to that, and the message here is to Western citizens about the gravity of the situation, and how they need to put pressure of their governments to end this.
All explosions of sufficient heat/energy generate a mushroom cloud. They’re not unique to nuclear.
Then you should probably explain to us the context for why two enormous conventional explosions were set off in Siberia. Perhaps also link us to video of large conventional explosions for comparison of "not unique"-ness.
