Seems a pretty obvious goal, yeah. Raise the prices to extremes for oil and gas producing allies through regional uncertainty, bomb infrastructure to keep them high, encourage Israel to keep doing what Israel, flooding the EU with asylum seekers. He's padding his own pockets, crippling the EU's and continuing to centralise influence around himself. Pretty typical megalomania. Y'all voted for this. Twice.
