I don't remember the heads of state of the parties involved in those other conflicts threatening to nuke the world, in case of defeat or foreign intervention?

@Elessar I don’t think that is a threat. He is stating the obvious.

@Ozymandiaz Well, first and foremost Crimea isn't Russia, it's a part of another country he was previously successful into claiming and taking as his own, but not recognized by literally anyone as such. But aside from the Crimean question, this wasn't the first nor the last "hint" he gave towards the possible explosion of a nuclear war as the direct consequence of interference in this conflict.
