Not even “libs” so much; the Hmong were supporters of the US in Vietnam, and had to flee the country as a result. It’s more breaking any potential local support for overseas military action so that the US is universally hated around the world.
The best-fit to Trump’s actions certainly seem to be to systematically destroy the US’s standing in the world. Maybe Putin proposed a trade in exchange for supporting a new fascist regime, but I suspect we’ll never really know.

Asking “What would Putin do?” explains pretty much everything out of this regime.
Destabilize daily life? Install Russian-friendly authoritarian order? Break all international alliances? Slow trade and destabilize markets with insane tariffs? Have all world leaders constantly in reaction-mode to whatever faux or real crisis the orange turnip has created today, distracting them all with the latest text of “Squirrel!” to Truth Social, squandering their resources and attention in the constant churn of political drama? Pitting neighbor against neighbor and pissing off even the most stable, long-held alliances? Ensuring that the US military is under thoroughly incompetent leadership and possibly about to be tasked with shooting at its own countrymen? Doing shit out of fucking nowhere that threatens WWIII with absolutely zero provocation?
Well, if Putin could control a US president, what would Putin do?
And there it is.
When it comes down to it there’s not much at all that the orange shitheel has done that does not also serve Putin very directly, in ways large and small.
