I don't think there's much in the Russian bluster about escalation, some countries have mentioned it but its simply a form of self deterrence.
Helping Ukraine at all was an escalation, sending HIMARS was an escalation, Ukraine attacking inside Russian territory was an escalation. So was attacking the kerch bridge. Tanks have been sent since the beginning, and now sending western European is the next one...
If there's anyone we should listen to about escalation it's Ukrainians, see what they think about that word.
The Americans have made it perfectly clear what will happen if they start lobbing nukes about.
