I think the Xtian nationalists in Trump's circle want this destruction since they see it as a precursor to the rapture.
I've heard this postulated since Bush Jr. but no. Christian fundamentalist are a useful voting bloc, they have influence on cultural issues that don't matter if you are trying to make money. (LBGT/Abortion etc) but war in Central America, Africa, South East Asia, all happen without them.
Not sure what you mean to say here.
