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