Things are not as they appear.
We can see the puppets doing puppet like things, and someone else, something else, gives orders.
I do not like this one bit.
But, if we looked, watched this whole thing, this was always Putin against NATO.
And the puppet masters really want WWIII.
Even regional nuclear war could result in global cooling, famines, and widespread death. Some technocrats might welcome all of these outcomes.
Yes, T.H.E.Y. would!
