    Maybe I assumed too much context ….

    It’s one of two three things:

    Bully mentality. “Beating people up means I’m strong.”

    Kompromat. “Putin said I have to beat people up or he will ruin me, and I know what he has on me.”

    • narcissism /instant gratification. If it doesn’t directly benefit me, now, then I don’t care
