  Maybe I assumed too much context ….

  It’s one of two three things:

  • Bully mentality. “Beating people up means I’m strong.”

  • Kompromat. “Putin said I have to beat people up or he will ruin me, and I know what he has on me.”

  • narcissism /instant gratification. If it doesn’t directly benefit me, now, then I don’t care

    Oh. I mean that’s definitely a Trump Trait but I don’t think it’s relevant to a conversation about why he’s attacking his allies.
