Should Putin be considered a threat? Or is this just a guy who is less relevant than he thinks he should be and is trying to get noticed?

Personally, I think we ought to keep an eye on him for now, but not worry too much about it until there is a real threat.

I'm curious if he feels that the West doesn't see him as relevant on the world stage as he thinks he is, so he's just trying to get some time in the news.

I'll admit that I'm more on the ignorant side when it comes to Putin. Does anyone with a bit more knowledge about the guy have any thoughts to share?
