Hitler's purpose: gas the Jews and take "Aryan" Lebensraum from Mankind.
9/11's purpose: cover up Enron by destroying all Enron evidence in
SEC's WTC7 office, blame it on "Islamists" and drone strike them.
Systemd's purpose: take down Debian by to save Red Hat's biz.
Trump's purpose: take down the US to save his own old Soviet agent ass.
GOP's purpose: help Trump take down the US to save their own Putinist
"lobbyist" butts.
