They have to look for fights, because they have nothing else to offer and if they're not fighting in public people, including their constituents, will expect them to do the jobs they were elected to and none of them has any idea how to go about that.

.....and that is the point, right? Putin will approve and reward them with at least not burning them to death painfully slow for following his wishes.

Pretty much. There's a good primer for them in an old Allen Drury book, Come Nineveh, Come Tyre, about what happens when a Russian puppet wins the presidency. Amazingly prescient for a book that is now about 51 years old. (Editor's note, the age has been corrected)
