My theory: Russia needs a forever war, they have completely switched to a war economy and peace would crash what’s left of it. That’s why Putin only demands conditions for peace that he knows Ukraine won’t accept. Sure, it means throwing a few hundred Russian people into the meat grinder every week, but that’s a prize he’s willing to pay without a smidge of remorse.
I will also admite, it feels a tad out of charater that he hasn’t fully pulled out of ukrain.
Sure, until you realize the goal is to extract as much of the wealth and natural resources as he can first then, when they have nothing, pull the rug.
Sure yeah, I get that. I would have just assumed his putin loyalties to take priority over anything else, other than the maga facade ofcouse.

A few hundred every week? More like 1000 a day.
