Putin has one simple reason for keeping this bloody war going in Ukraine. He thinks he can outlast America and our allies. The Russian dictator believes time is on his side as he watches a tired Ukraine struggle and the West grow divided over continued support.
This evil calculation shows exactly what kind of monster we are dealing with. Putin sees the war as a fight for his very survival and regime. He would rather sacrifice tens of thousands of Russian soldiers than admit defeat or negotiate in good faith with President Trump.
The facts are crystal clear from recent intelligence reports. Russian forces have been ordered to execute Ukrainian prisoners of war in cold blood. This is the true face of Putin’s war machine that some weak politicians want to appease instead of defeat.
Putin keeps rejecting President Trump’s reasonable peace offers because he thinks America will eventually give up. He watched how badly the previous administration handled foreign policy disasters. Now he believes he can wait out American resolve and get everything he wants without making real concessions.
The Russian tyrant has built his entire war strategy around one bet. He thinks Americans will get tired of supporting Ukraine and force Trump to accept a bad deal. Putin knows that a weak settlement now would be a huge victory for Moscow and a devastating loss for American credibility worldwide.
President Trump understands what Putin really fears most. The only language this dictator respects is strength and the threat of total military defeat. Diplomacy without the backing of overwhelming force is just wishful thinking when dealing with ruthless autocrats like Putin.
Every day Putin drags out this war costs innocent Ukrainian lives and weakens America’s position globally. He has turned Russia into a war economy that can absorb massive losses while betting that free nations lack the stomach for a long fight. This miscalculation could be his biggest mistake yet.
The truth is simple and every patriotic American should understand it. Putin will only make peace when he faces complete military destruction or when America shows the world we mean business. Half measures and endless negotiations just give this war criminal more time to kill and destroy.
