Maybe they want us to do their dirty work.
Interesting thought! FWIW, I’ve always assumed the PRC would have someone, maybe more than one, in Junior’s close proximity, should Junior wander off the rez. I can’t see what the PRC would lose if caught whacking their own guy. A) Nobody likes Junior, except possibly the PRC. B) What is anybody who might object gonna do, arrest the Politburo? I’m confused as heck as to what anyone is getting out of this Sturm und Drang.
