Putin has many goals. Some strategic, some tactical.

But one of his greatest goals is to destabilize and topple anti-russian democracies. TFG still has power here.

The trucker trouble in canada should give you some idea of where this can go. With enough stoking, the rabid right could attempt to cut select cities, and then select states, off from the routine flow of goods and food that comes from other areas. Few states are self sufficient and no cities are.

Can you imagine the tear in americas fabric if truckers decide to even attempt to emabargo a major city? What if major conglomerates decide to not cross the lines? Maybe a purdue for chicken, or another for pork or beef, others for fresh produce? No fuel deliveries? No refrigerated foods?

This would delight russia. And with a gop potus, even a desantos or cruz, how would the national guard react?

tfg could help stoke that. He is still valuable because he can keep what few sane and reasonable voices there are in the gop from ever being heard again.

That is why putin will find ways to support him. Overthrowing a powerful enemy by force is dangerous and he might not personally survive. Corrupting one to the breaking point is turning out to be ridiculously cheap and risk free.
