Putin has got to be asking himself if anything more can go wrong.  I can see the idea of using tactical nuclear weapons inching a little closer to the forefront of his mine.  

Would the United States be accepting of Cuba joining a military alliance with China and Russia; having their missiles positioned close to our border?

There's no way Finland would proactively attack Russia but I can't envision how things look from Putin's viewpoint.

Interesting analogy you pose. I don’t know what the US would do in that circumstance, but let’s just say that Russia is not the superpower that the US is, and Cuba is both weak and a pariah, unlike Finland and Sweden. So I don’t think the analogy is apt here.  Putin put himself in a box by establishing a corrupt regime, running his own country into the ground, and deciding to be a war criminal. His threat to start a nuclear war is still scary, but it’s not the same level of deterrent it once was.
