the puppetmaster is the worst, no question, but its the puppet expressing their adopted culture 6km up dropping bombs. they are the ones wearing the uniform enforcing the puppetmasters will. there is no bait and switch. they do it for free because it is literally their culture now. regarding the rest imagine this: i'm unarmed. you come at me with a knife. i am forced to neutralize the knife/arm first, then you. why not you first? because the knife will do untold damage trying to get to you.  usa, its military, culture, policy, philosophy, etc. is that knife and its at the throat of all europeans. vassal loyalists may believe its a knife of friendship or whatever cope the usa tells them to believe, but its not going to go away on its own, and until it is gone nothing good can happen.
