I hope we stick to the psyops, personally. Very well argued, thank you, that brought clarity. You're right about the factions - it's tempting to fall into that vaguely conspiratorial thinking that says for sure someone is in charge and has a fixed plan, when really it's more likely that it's a bunch of somebodies all struggling to do what they think would be a better plan of attack (for them or the world, I think that varies). That suggests chaos and we don't like to think in chaos.
Oh well, I suppose only time will tell...
