Nobody knows for sure how Trump 2.0 will be sabotaged. Political tricks are like military ones and terrorist ones: you can't use an old tactic a second time because the world has become wise to it. So this time around it won't be "Russian collusion." The obvious choice will be to turn Biden's lost and unpopular war into Trump's lost war.
A fair number of Trump's supporters are flag-waving jingoes who want their president to be tough. Making America Great Again means roaming the world and telling other people who their government should be. This will make it easy for Trump to stake out a tough position relative to Putin. Trump's ego needs to show the world what a great deal maker he is.
Russia will ignore this game and keep doing what it is doing: winning. That will cause Trump to bluster a little harder. In a matter of weeks, Biden's debacle will have become Trump 2.0's debacle.
A movie metaphor came to mind. The reader might be familiar with "Gettysburg," made back in the 1990s. The Yankee general Buford (played by Sam Elliot) made a great speech at the beginning of the battle. It reminds me of the current trap that Trump is about to step into.

Lots of choices for him to pick from.
