This is literally it. He's just doing what Putin is telling him to do. The point is to destroy the United States, all of it.

Well, all of the Americas too. Russia needs a weaker Canada and Mexico for their ultimate goals

Yup. Same goals they’ve had for generations.

Russia is always playing the long game. Same with China. They don’t care about the next 4 years or an election cycle. They want what’s best for their empires 100 years from now (regardless of how much their people suffer to get there).
