The Guardian explained why Putin and Netanyahu want to fight forever, and what Trump has to do with it.

A phone conversation between Netanyahu and Putin

In early May, Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin held a friendly phone conversation dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany. Despite ideological differences, they share much in common: both position themselves as fighters against 'Nazism' - in Gaza and Ukraine, respectively.

According to The Guardian, this fabricated rhetoric justifies mass killings of civilians, increasing military casualties, and a rapid deterioration of their countries' reputations in the world. Both leaders, in the publication's opinion, have plunged their states into global isolation.

The need for stability and international pressure

European leaders warn that if Putin remains unpunished, he will move westward. And Netanyahu has already expanded military operations to Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria. It is known that Netanyahu may be preparing for a strike on Iran, seeking to disrupt negotiations between Tehran and Washington over the nuclear program. International pressure on these leaders might prove key to weakening their control.
