But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there’ll be another one along in a minute. Shoot him too? Why not shoot everyone and invade Poland? In fifty years’, thirty years’, ten years’ time the world will be very nearly back on its old course. History always has a great weight of inertia.”
― Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies
You just watch, the party of "Always a false flag!" will once again conspicuously fail to raise that suggestion. Not that I think this was a false flag operation, most things aren't and so until and unless we have some pretty damning evidence I'll just side with Occam here, but I always like to call out their blatant fucking hypocrisy. Just for kicks. God knows this timeline isn't funny enough if we don't put in the effort.
