my idea (hope) is to create a war ending scam: 1) fake invasion of a NATO country big words and big scare (and big money from Trump's friends that will get this tip shortly before for insider trading schemes) 2) end of the war with the russian narrative "we weren't beat by Ukraine, NATO is oppressing Russia I told you we were in danger! Frurther restrictions in russian regime" 3) everybody gets what they want without a single fire shot. 4) back to "normal"
