Same, Russia has lost all credibility when threatening nukes. Also why would they (NATO) blockade Kaliningrad, as he stated NATO is a defensive alliance

    I don't think that the target receiver of that thread was NATO, nor any other entity outside of Russia, but the Russian population instead.

    Propaganda 1x1: Build up an external aggressive foe (even if fictional) to make your population united behind you and allow implementing otherwise unthinkable drastic domestic measures.
