One is hard pressed to understand the purpose in this news stream of encouraging or normalizing conflict as a means of preventing conflict other than assuring an income.

"Those who understand the Way do not engage in offensive warfare. When a state is attacked, they recommend defense through moral persuasion and diplomatic means, not through violence. Military force that claims to bring peace is like using fire to put out fire – it only creates more destruction and suffering."

— Mozi (墨子), translated from the Mòzǐ (墨子) text, circa 470-391 BCE
