If it's not a bluff then he's playing a very dangerous game, I don't see Putin letting him live if he becomes useless to him.

Perhaps, but the guy does have a private army, and I'm sure he'd rather keep it that way. Assassination is probably all he has to fear (at the moment), and with a private army to protect him, an assassination should be much harder to pull off. Spending all his forces wouldn't be wise for him personally.
