In times like this, I find great comfort in the words of Kwame Nkrumahs book Revolutionary Warfare, wherein he describes how colonial powers, neo-colonialism operates, and how the tactics of this play out in real life are scary accurate.

"If a member of a group which is absolutely opposed to imperialism is in control of the state and party, attempts are made to organise:
Either
1. Assassination or a coup d'état or "palace revolution" which will permit political power to fall into the lap of the rival but pro-imperialist group.
Or
2. A decentralisation of political power within the ruling party, one group being strong in the state machinery, the other strong in the party machine."

Personally I see this rule applicable to any of the big wars going on since 2003
