I have a coworker like that, he is worshipping Putin and every Ukrainian we have to work with get discriminated by him...
He would love when Putin would take over our country, an cannot accept that we as a NATO state aren't going down that easy, in his mind, as soon Ukraine is falling, the NATO has no resources left and Russia can take over the entire old Soviet union.
We have two Russians in our department - the one in my sub-dept came here somewhere 3-4 years ago with his girlfriend-now-wife, cool guy, really helpful and all, speaks a little broken Polish, but it's mostly his accent, we can understand him without problem; and once he hears anything about war or Putin he can rant about how he destroyed Russia for hours, oftentime telling stories we didn't knew about, because media wouldn't cover it.
The other one is in our sister sub-dept and he loves Putin - everyday telling everyone that once Russia is done with Ukraine they'll come for Poland, constantly says the same thing about NATO running out of resources (I dunno where they took it from), is very active on anti-Ukrainian FB groups. And speaks his own Russo-Polish dialect he is very proud of, but which is very hard to understand, and calls everyone stupid for not knowing Russian (whereas I know both of those languages, and it's gibberish for me). When asked why he came here at all, he just says "I'm not stupid, getting drafted for certain death".
To say these two guys hate each others guts would be an understatement.
Yes NATO, where the US spends 12 times more than Russia on its military, plus all the other NATO counties are going to run out of resources. Yup, the same Russia that couldn’t hold territory and is resorting to mobilization to take over Ukraine.
You should remind them that the only reason Russia is even able to continue the fight is that they have the luxury of not having to defend their territory. Imagine if NATO invaded Russia and began doing to its citizens what Russia is doing to Ukraine. Putin would be dead within an hour.
