He doesn't seem to have a problem with Russia's desire to annex the
Ukraine - after all Trump wants to annex Panama, Canada and Greenland.

 History shows that nobody is very good at predicting human events. Our
world is too chaotic.

Making it even more chaotic isn't a good strategy.

A little teacup breaking might be handy now and then.

Trump screws up on a larger scale than that. His business history includes several very expensive bankruptcies.

I design that way, break rules and try a lot of crazy ideas on the
front end. Of course, I can blow up parts at small expense.

You don't actually design your circuits. You evolve them. Blowing up mass-produced parts is more acceptable than inviting Russia to to take over the  Ukraine, or threatening to invade Greenland, Panama or Canada.
