Present day Russia is but a shadow of its former self. And the West is much more powerful, both in absolute terms and relative to Russia, than it was then. If push came to shove, there are NATO countries that could successfully take on Russia by themselves. That wasn't true 30 years ago.
Which Putin might see as just a reason to reach for the nukes, of which he still has plenty.
