    I honestly have no idea what the ultimate machinations behind such a plan would be, I don’t even believe that’s necessarily the case, just something which strikes me as almost so ridiculously bad, that it has to be fake. Maybe I’m just an optimist, hell if I know…

    But to give into flights of fancy, one of the reasons why I could see someone wanting to prolong a massive conflict (maybe even two!) would be to sell weapons and generally implements of war. Would track with past behaviour. I’m sure there are plenty of other imaginable economic and political reasons, but that’s beyond speculation.

    They did start selling weapons to any citizen who can enter a store, ask, and pay for one while there were no conflicts quite on this scale going on, which may or may not be just a coincidence. Again, haven’t the foggiest and this is all in good… uuh… fun, I guess.
