I believe the idea of Cordis Die is it's trying to stoke up existing anti-Western feelings, with the drone attack and destruction intended to send a message that the West is weak and it's time for revolutin', hence Menendez's other objective of destabilising the Chinese-led power block in the East. I don't think he really cared about much more than that the revolution would be a bloody one as revenge for the numerous acts of dickery against him in the past.
