They value unnecessary destruction higher than basic quality of life.

I don’t know. Do you think that ruling till the end is so enjoyable? In Putins situation it doesn’t really improve his quality of life anymore, he’s filthy rich anyway. Why not sleep in every morning and spent your last years with some relaxation and enjoying some luxuries. Especially if your otherwise best idea makes you the number one hated person on the planet.

We’re supposed to step up only against people that are poor and brown. How dare we don’t bomb Yemen and america needs to bail us freeloading europeans out again. Putin though is supposed to have free reign so that the oligarch bribe money can flow freely.

That’s probably >10% of russias remaining (air worthy) Ka52. Nice start to the week!
