5. Putin, Trump's idol, is a monster. He's lost 1.2 million soldiers so far, but doesn't care about them.

Like Trump, none of his offspring serve in the military.

While Ukraine targets Russia’s logistics and its war funding oil infrastructure, Putin targets Ukrainian apartment buildings.

Putin won’t give up. It’s all about his legacy, recreating the Russian Empire. The war will continue until the oligarchs throw him out a window.
