To rule the future in the new timeline.
That's not ruling the future.
They sent a terminator back to kill him, so in the new timeline, they could win the war and control the world. It wouldn't help their current timeline, but it'd help their new up and coming one.
That'd make as much sense as Germany, during WWII, making a last ditch effort to make Paraguay win. No matter who or what you are, timelines that you're not part of are irrelevant.
Besides, if Skynet was eradicated in Dark Fate's timeline, where'd Terminator Carl come from? Skynet couldn't have sent him, they're gone.
Of course, every single sequel to Terminator is a giant plot hole in and of itself. Skynet would have known the instant they sent the first T-800 back in time that their mission had failed. So the logical thing to do would have been to send another one to help the first one, at the same time.
But of course, the T-800 wouldn't have failed. The only reason it did fail was because Kyle Reese was sent back in time to help Sarah. But there would have been no reason why he'd be sent back in time unless they already knew that Skynet had sent a terminator back to kill Sarah. And if Skynet had done that, they would already have succeeded before Kyle could go back in time - the change in the present would have been instantaneous.

So why not France and them waling it there?

The T800 (Aka 'Carl') Senses, the temporal displacement, sends sara the time and coordinates for said displacement so she can hunt and destroy the terminator that comes through the time warp.

SO who or what 'sensed' it?
Ding Dong
!

Lol its called 'legion' and I don't think the geographical location mattered, the T-800 could 'sense' the temporal displacement regardless of where it occurred.

So it's regional then?
Why wouldn't whateverthefuck.jpg send a terminator to France and have them walk over under the water?

'Carl' Mentioned that there is a change in the atmosphere when temporal displacement (time warp opening) occurs that it is presumed, a machine, but not a human can sense. This was directly asked and answered in the film

They wouldn't eradicate into nothingness.
Yes, but cyber-enhanced woman didn't know what Skynet was. So how could Carl, from Skynet, send texts to Sarah about Legion terminators sent back for her to hunt?
How would a terminator from a different timeline know about other terminators being sent back?

To rule the future in the new timeline. John Conner helped destroy Skynet in the original timeline. Without him there, Skynet they could control everything. They sent a terminator back to kill him, so in the new timeline, they could win the war and control the world. It wouldn't help their current timeline, but it'd help their new up and coming one.
There would have to be multiple futures or rather multiple timelines. If Skynet and the resistance send terminators, they'd still exist after they send them. They wouldn't eradicate into nothingness.
If time machines existed, and one person goes back in time, do we all disappear because
one person
went to the past? No.

With multiple futures why would Skynet even bother trying to alter the past once it has achieved sentience then?
Ding Dong
!

He wasn't dead in that timeline.
If there was no chance of killing John in the past because he's alive in the present, it would've been pointless to send the terminators back.
It operated under the rules that the future can be changed by altering the past.

How was John able to send Kyle Reese back when he was
dead
?
Ding Dong

He shot up a bunch of stuff in T2 as well. And he shot a kid in full view of witnesses in the beginning of this movie. I think they'd widen their search a wee bit.

LAPD journal:
Day 12,775.
Still no sign of Arnie.
Tomorrow, we begin searching rural Texas.

The police weren't looking for a T-800, they were looking for a man fitting the description of Arnold Schwarzenegger. A machine gets smashed up, how are they supposed to identify that as the MAN who shot up a police station? A machine gets melted in molten metal - who identifies the body?
In other words, as far as the police is concerned, the man who shot up the police station and all those squad cars etc., is still at large. Why
wouldn't
the police be looking for him?

ok, well played.

No, do you think the feds are still looking a "man" who was killed in a factory in 1984, 35 years later?
½ Spoon + ½ Fork + ½ Knife

Are you kidding?
The police didn't know they were terminators. Obviously. They assumed the man (terminator) in 1984 who shot up the police station was the same man (terminator) who was blowing up Cyberdyne in 1995, as both had the Arnold skin, Model 101.
This is even alluded to in T2, when detectives show Sarah pictures of Arnold in 1984, and mention that they've seen the same man with her son.
So naturally, authorities would assume that the Model 101 who calls himself Carl is also the same man from the events of 1984 and 1995, T1 and T2.
You think he'd be only wanted in LA?
He didn't steal someone's bike. They think this is a man who murdered multiple police officers in 84. That's a mass shooting right there. In T2, he blew up an entire factory, and even shot cops there causing injury. This man would be wanted for terrorism, murder, among many other things he did along the way like armed robbery. destruction of property. He'd be wanted in all 50 states and the feds would be involved.
