Israel v Hamas

What is amazing is him taking credit for India/Pakistan!

He has knocked off the easy kills in Gaza and then literally claimed to have given world peace. I hope it has ended but let us judge in a month.

He has done harm/good/harm/good in Ukraine and Putin has largely played him. Again, let us see in time...
It's much easier to play someone when only one side wants peace.
Putin is happy to continue his steady assault on Ukraine to look good at home and to keep pressure on the West. He knows we won't risk an all out conflict by engaging him directly.

Nor them us.

As you say, appearing tough at home plays good with the Russians, hence his regular incursions into NATO airspace. However, he knows he can only take it so far. Thus, Russian planes drifted way into Turkish airspace and the Turks blew them out of the sky. WWIII? Nope. And he didn't do it again.
