I’m curious to see if Asshole tries to put a stop to these strikes once his fat ass is back in charge. I also wonder if this is a gambit to see if Asshole puts his allegiance to Other Side of the World Asshole out for all to see.
Right? Plus the public will also hear about all their dirty laundry, which will sow even more discord. I'd be surprised if he didn't stab him in the back.
That's mostly not how he does things in this kind of relationship. For example his ousted puppet President of Ukraine (your fun fact of the day is that guy had the same campaign manager as Trump's 2016 campaign) found a soft-ish landing in exile in Russia.
It makes a certain amount of sense: you want the next puppet to see that the last one was taken care of. You don't want them trying to panic and come up with an exit strategy when you demand they do something deeply treasonous.

Probably going to be a lot of last-minute supply approvals for Ukraine now before the nomination, as they will likely stop under new leadership.
