I think it’s mostly for show. All the posturing is for his domestic voters, since most of his political message is being anti EU. If he can make a big stink in Brussels and carry off a token victory that’s a decent propaganda tool. I’m fairly sure he isn’t actually so stupid as to risk losing the EU billions going to him and his friends.
