Does "however outlandish analysts consider such threats" mean "no matter how weird analysts..."?

Ori you'll have to forgive an old fussbudget and of course as an esl you're entitled, but that phrase makes no sense as I'm sure somebody else better versed in linguistics will soon explain

However it made my entire week, I'll be chuckling about all the wierd analysts and their strange behavior in the manner by which they lavish their attention

means "no matter how weird the analysts think such threats might be"

Got it.
Thank you.

Quite welcome Ori

Incidentally forgive an 82-year-old brain but did I ask you about yourself and if so can you provide a link

Weird isn't the right synonym. Outlandish, in this case, means outside the norm. Weird means peculiar. Threatening to use nuclear weapons is not weird, it's dangerous and completely irresponsible.

Extreme or insane would be better synonyms to use.
