I'd think if this was part of the planned global realignment(s) of global power players, your assessment is real close to mine. But while they continue in their struggle for that realignment, the other countries are more incline right now to be setting up digitalization systems. Which will ultimately be used to control the populace behaviors. Basically, these activities distract the populace one from the other in these implementation plans.

I will though, go way, way out on a limb here, sort of humorously, when people talk of where the safest place to be in any nuclear war, I'd be inclined at this moment to say, in any situation where we'd see things happen in this country we've never seen before, the safest place to be would be close to a major data processing center. They aren't going to blow up that which they plan to use to imprison the population digitally.
