Neither, it turns out, does Putin.
Consider:
You are a paranoid minority supported dictator on fear of your own 
minions and the West.
If NATO decides to take you, it can. You don't realise that the last 
thing NATO wants is to have to run Russia.

You cant do the all out war thing. But what you can do is spin a legend. 
The legend of the madness of dictators who will push the red button if 
threatened. You can fund every single radical left or right  political 
group in your enemies ranks from Black lives matter to pro Lifers.

You can fund any group spreading the pretended horror of nuclear war, 
weapons and power stations.

Meanwhile you do a huge military on the cheap. A few nuclear tests show 
you have the Bomb, and a few missile runs show you have the delivery.

The rest on parade in Red Square might as well be cardboard.  They're 
not real. They are there to support the legend of a militarily powerful 
nation armed with nuclear weapons it is not afraid to use.

And finally you have the Reptile fund. For the clandestine purchasing 
and blackmail of free world politicians. And media influencers. How many 
Hollywood nuclear horror movies were funded indirectly from the Kremlin?

Of course it is possible.

The incoherent parochialism, of the American Indoctrinated is not of
