Sure seems like Putin might be trying antagonize the West into direct conflict. I know some think he doesn't want that, but now that's he's seeing an impossible win and total lack of support publicly, he may need a larger war to gain local support and rationalize an escalation to larger weaponry.

No, no they don't. It's probably for the best that most of the giants are collapsing under their own weight, though.
