They really want to see what the bear is capable of.

Considering how Russia hasn't really been reacting to most of what the US and co has done against them, the US likely is confident nothing will come out of it like in most of the other times they did things against Russia, thus, the US will probably escalate this within days. Like many of the other times.

There's little reason for Russia to rock the boat at the moment given that they will win if the status quo continues. Direct escalation would make things more unpredictable. However, what I can see happening is Russia sending advanced weapons to Iran, DPRK, Syria, and Yemen.

Direct escalation would make things more unpredictable.

This is the U.S. strategy -- to provoke Russia into a response that will turn more than Europe against it.

Exactly, and the fact that the west keeps doing provocations is clear evidence that they're losing the conflict.
