Putin's primary concern is he and his family's safety and prosperity. This is why he's been in power so long. He's worried about enemies coming after him if he is no longer politically influential or weak. This war significantly boosts his standing in his country. A recent poll showed he had 83% approval from Russians.. He's more popular than he's been in years.

The CIA/Zelenskyy are both getting rich from money being pumped into the country. And Biden and his cronies are reaping huge profits. The amount of money being sent to the country is record-breaking..

Everyone is seemingly on the same page. Let's have a little "war" and all scratch each others' backs. That would explain why no one seems remotely concerned about 2 nuclear powers in an alleged proxy war.
