@evelynefoerster Right. It is a key principle in politics if one is governing a country that if one serially bungles and the country is going down the drain then DISTRACT, e.g. by blaming other countries or starting a war (or, better, several wars* preferably intractable ones which keep the Distraction pot boiling so that one has peace and quiet to continue one's bungling and malfeasance). * ...and - very important - blame other states for starting them...
