Wondering why the Russian media released Melania pics

Just thinking out loud... Last time around it was reported that Putin had some incriminating photos/info on Trump that might be embarrassing (or worse). The MSM suggested this explained Trump's deference to Putin.
Trump recently seemed to be a bit more willing to confront the Russian leader - and then nude Melania pictures show up in their media.
Anyone wondering if Putin is sending a gentle message/hint/threat?
I would think that even if Putin did have some photos of Trump in a compromising situation - that it wouldn't matter - at all. And once released, any leverage is lost - so better to hint/threaten without release.
I haven't read of anyone suggesting this - but it was the first thing I thought of when the Melania photos appeared in the Russian media. They've been around for years - so why now?

Probably just Putin’s way of saying he considers that Trump is a person of low morals and little culture and is therefore not about to show any particular deference or respect towards him personally or his Office.
On the other hand, this is as good as any analysis I have seen on the matter:

Remember, this is Trump. He’ll probably put the pictures in his Christmas Cards with a handwritten “I sleep with her…”

Putin’s run out of steam if this is the best he has. I have wondered if he wants to provoke a wider war in order to reap financial benefit from the west for peace.

He has decided to antagonise Trump. Putin has a mob boss mentality and right now he’s behaving more like “Crazy Joe” Gallo than Carlo Gambino.

Probably not, but he hasn’t proven himself to be a master strategist internationally anyway. Incorrect assumptions could well guide him.

I suppose Trump could post pics of Putin's wife in a mass grave outside a gulag in Siberia.

His ex-wife is dead in a ditch. Americans are a little softhearted about such things.

But she’s remarried and very much alive in St. Petersburg (no, not the St. Petersburg in Florida).

Thank you. I was going to ask, but being the gentleman I am, I refrained. Now that you've made the request...LET'S SEE 'EM!

Here is a link with at least some footage from Russian TV program in question. You’ll get the drift. Nothing explicit:
I do not place much credence, if at all any, in the slick coffee and donut shop gossip beyond the Russian clip in the first minute or so.

Have we ever officially determined whether Jon would hit that? I mean, obviously he would have if there was no Trump affiliation, but with the Trump affiliation, would Jon be able to stomach going where DJT went?

I don't think Jon can reach that far. Maybe if an elephant stepped on his ass...
