Moscow Donnie is short-sighted: he's only after the money and the glory, nothing more. He knows the way to the money and glory is to destroy America and remake it in his image, and that's what's happening right now.
Drunken Pete is a cipher at the behest of Moscow Donnie's cause. DP has no decision-making authority beyond tactics in the moment. That's why he is more focused on rooting out so-called "woke" in the military rather than maintaining the traditional focus and strength of our forces. It's the only facet of his job in which his authority goes practically unchallenged, because in the short term anyway, it doesn't affect the readiness of our forces.
