I really don't think he works for "Russia" per se, he works for his clique of grifters and is genuinely deluded into believing Russia and Putin are stronger and more capable than they are - and better suited to benefit him personally. In the end, he works for himself and his close circle of capitalists, already speculating on a recession.
Yes, first and foremost he's in it for himself and his buddies. Russia and the Zionist Regime know how to do business with Trump, and provide a great way to help Trump dismantle the government and loot the USA, just like the capitalist looting that happened after the fall of the USSR. Look at what happened to Russia after shock therapy. That's what Trump and Co. want to do, and Russia's history is what lies ahead for the USA if they succeed. You may think (correctly) that Russia under Putin is a hellscape, but remember, part of the reason Russians largely support the bastard is that he was seen as lifting them out of the 90s, which was characterized by a six year drop in life expectancy, child prostitution, 'mail-order brides' and other human trafficking, rampant alcoholism, privatization and the rise of oligarchs.
Thank you. Putin is liked because he is benefiting Russia. The propaganda that if only we force them into a war, Russians will overthrow him, is crackhead thinking that led to the Ukraine failure, because Russians understand the need to defend Russia from the demonic evil that promoted this war.
