You don't need a conspiracy theory

We have plenty of homegrown anti-democratic plutocrats. We know who paid for his second election. When you own everything, a war or global depression is just a chance to prevent development of civic organization and hoard more assets. Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, the Kochs and the Adelsons never played by any rules. Palantir is the synthesis of Blackwater and Uber. The tech bosses and the GOP play the same game as Putin and Netanyahu. Keep pushing until the other side gives or the rules of the game break down. For Trump starting a war with Iran is like countersuing a contractor he never paid. He is just embraces the game.
