Was Fredrick just trolling during the 7 years' war? It seem like all he did was challenge habsburg power and showed off his military skills.

All he did was almost completely undo the work of his previous wars, his fathers efforts, and the great electors efforts to turn Brandenburg-Prussia from a shithole into a functioning Great Power.
Seriously, there's a reason why it's called a miracle, as he was just short of complete defeat when it happened

Yeah it did. While the war demonstrated his full extent of his (incredibly impressive) military acumen, it's existence revealed a complete failure of Prussian diplomacy.
Which raises the question, why do non-Habsburg Germans suck so much at diplomacy (excepting Bismark)?
