Putin and friends are starting to panic with the sanctions. It's already hurting a lot... Serious economic sanctions coupled the fact that oil prices are also in sharp decline and predicted to decline quite a bit next year is going to be disaster for them. Russia only survived the last decade because of oil prices, if it wasn't for a massive spike in oil prices, they'd still be begging the world for money to survive as they did from 1994 to 2000 or so, to survive.

What Putin is doing right now is a lot of sabre rattling to demand respect and get a weak US President and weak EU leadership to back down, blaming them and their policies for his belligerence as thats really the only card he can play at this point being that Russia has no real leverage or economic influence to speak of in the world.
