Nope. The powers behind the curtains wanted the war. Most of those scum thought it would be over quickly and they’d make a lot of money and get a lot more power. It didn’t play out for many of them the way they thought.
Similar as what’s happening today. Anyone who thinks senile Biden and moron Harris are actually making real decisions is an idiot. Their puppet masters are. Hence WWIII will occur if Harris steals the election. If Trump gets in, he might be able to delay it. Only one who has a chance to do so. But the powers that be are also going to wreck America (they are well on the way), so we won’t be able to put it off overlong.
Sorry if that sounds all “conspiracy theory” like, but it’s based on a deep understanding of history. The same patterns occur throughout history from Greece to Rome to China. And even older.
History does not repeat, but it does rhyme. Only real difference now is nukes will come into play.
PS One of my favorite lines from a Zelanzy novel: “Then come to me in Bright Defile,” he said, “where Judgment Day is not a thing that can be delayed for overlong.”
