I think, because of the last administration quite frankly; the citizens of this country did not "realize" or comprehend how very dangerous Putin is, plus he is as with the last president of this country, a habitual liar.
i.e. "you cannot trust him".
I'm not the least bit surprised really that he is now threatening Finland and/or the Swiss.
The biggest test (fish in the sea) as a Democracy for him was the USA, and he scored big big points with his own pick. I also don't know WHY people in this country cannot or will not see it and therefore, through them.
Last week, the President or PM of Finland was in an interview expressing his great concern for his country. He said they share 839 miles of border with Russia. He's advanced so much because of the politics of djt,steven bannon, and even the once respected General Flynn turning against their own country, that NOW, he is drunk (metaphorically) with his own power as he perceives it to be. And his many wins in the past 4 yrs (Syria, taking away the war games in South Korea, so on and so forth with trump), made him far more then he once was.

All he needs are more players in place in high places once again and he's a sure winner.
I think what surprises me so much is just how stupid it is. They can take Ukraine, but they can't hold it. There will be a nonstop insurgency within the country and crippling sanctions on Russian citizens as long as they are occupying Ukraine. And now he wants to threaten other countries as well? It's beyond bold. It is dumb. I have always had a dim view of Putin, but I believed he was cautious and clever. Apparently he is neither.
