[QUOTE="Donovan Morningfire, post: 3766155, member: 39532"] Or one thought regarding the US "jumping the gun" and firing off missles after the Conflagaration, is that the President in office is a bit off-kilter, or his/her immediate support staff are. They assume the Conflagaration is the work of some new Chinese W.M.D. that was developed during the now-failed peace talks, and decided to immediately retaliate before they can attack again. Or to borrow a plot idea from Deadlands: Wasted West, the President of the US was about to successfully conclude the peace talks with China when s/he suddenly goes missing, leaving their trigger-happy Vice President in charge. Things go south, the Conflag happens, and it all goes downhill from there. If you want to "sinister agenda," perhaps agents of the Inconnu worked behind the scenes to raise the international tension levels so that the world nations were a powder keg ready to go off at the slightest spark. After all, that was the state of Europe when World War I erupted, with all the mutual defence alliances just feeding the flames. [/QUOTE]
