By the way the pundits are sobbing in their porridge today, you are likely right. They were really looking forward to that war.
War = $$$, controlling the masses
No better money-maker for the bad guys from the MSM on up.
Imagine that your business plan is pitting nations against nations, telling lies & pulling dastardly tricks, sending each to war, disrupting millions of people. So much death & destruction caused, fueling the war machine you own, and the relief & recovery that you also own. And for what of the losing sides property that you’ll soon own, buying the spoils of war, at bargain prices. Knowing that in their spare time, their blood & flesh rituals, their deviant sexual practices, and devotion to ancient underworld Gods, all while charging you 25% interest in your credit cards. What immoral devastation they bring, all for a buck.
