Oh love, they won't, they really won't. It's all behind the scenes sabotage and cyber attacks these days. Unpleasant but nothing like being bombed.
Putin - like most bullies - is a bloody great blowhard and coward. As long as he maintains his own self-delusions he believes in himself. Stupid, stupid man. Please don't fear him.

But have you never thought that Putin would do it because he might commit suicide and he'll be gone anyway so why not take the rest of the world with him. He's nothing to lose.

Not true - he has children and wants a legacy.

Very very unlikely as then it would trigger article 5 of NATO. They do not want that.

Call up your GP tomorrow and ask for some help with your anxiety. This is not normal or healthy.

Right now, focus on your breathing and use grounding techniques to calm yourself down. E.g. find 5 things around you which are blue.
