It’s not a carefully choreographed puppet show…

It’s like an art exhibit where any random person can walk up and yank on strings, often in opposite directions.

You’re assigning order to chaos, the same reason every early civilization had a “lightning god”.

Our brains want an explanation, so we invent them to explain chaos. Even when the explanation is clearly not matching up to reality.

Reality is a lot worse than just trump doing whatever Putin asks.

It’s less “puppet” and more multi-player QWOP where random people each have a single button.
