Sure, maybe.

Maybe the top 1000 most powerful conniving dipshit people in the world all got together and came to consensus about how to move forward and they all pinky promise they won't backstab each other along the way. It will be interesting to see how long that lasts.

Or maybe that never happened at all and the incompetence isn't incompetence at all and rather simply continuing on the path of taking short-term gains in exchange for long term fallout: the thing we've been doing for decades.

There are really more variables to this situation than could possibly even be understood by a single person. This is Chaos Theory hard at work. The simulation will continue.
