Putin doesn't want the best country on the map.
That's something you get by building stable and robust institutions that do good things. Ones that solve problems by enacting sane policies, funding infrastructure, spreading education and ensuring healthcare for as many as possible.
No.
Putin just wants the biggest country on the map.
I think people are forgetting Putin’s personality. He’s a brutal tyrant, yes, but he’s also a narcissist who cannot stand any sort of disloyalty or defiance. Long ago he committed himself (in writing) to the ideology that Ukrainians are Russian. He believes that Ukrainian people BELONG to HIM. So every day that the war continues and Ukrainians fight and die and above all else defy him, he takes as a grave insult that he cannot abide.
That’s why he will not stop until he is deposed or dead. He’s more determined than a pitbull to force Ukraine to bend the knee. He’s like a villain from Game of Thrones.
