      I’ve been wondering about that and Putin only shows restraint when he has no other choice. That means he would have done it long ago if he had the choice. I’m not sure why but it seems like he’s never even remotely felt he had that choice (aside from posturing and moving warheads from a to b). Let’s hope it stays that way.
