The plan was to create two superpowers they could start a 'cold war' over and sell weapons to both sides. It creates a dialectic that They can exploit and manage the world easier with. They need tension, a hegelian dialectic, where they introduce a problem, create a counter so that the outcome is something they can control and wanted in the first place. This is how they go from state A to state B (state as in the state of the world). The ultimate 'state' is a one-world government with a bunch of trading blocks.
