To the conspiratorial mind-set the world is orchestrated. Nothing happens by chance or due to the chaotic nature of life. All is planned and controlled. Putin is orchestrating everything, starting a war just to have sanctions enacted to do what he is not unilaterally able to do,) toward the end goal (like 3D chess moves,) of establishing a CBDC and isolating Russia from the west completely. (Or making a political axis of Russia / China and buffer states.) Or not.
