It offers little on what Russias goal is, outside the republics current (and alleged) inward focus.

Tbh the whole doc reads like high school analysis.

Destabilising the US. And document was seized by DOJ and reported on by reuters and AP.

Russian calculus with the US is to sow discontent and try to turn the country inwards so they have a free hand to push everyone else around. Medvedev was predicting civil war in the US in his 2023 New Years “predictions” (https://www.newsweek.com/medvedevs-wild-2023-predictions-include-elon-musk-us-president-1769667) and this line of civil war keeps being parroted in their media.
