Imagine that Russian Cossacks get their hands on large silencer-enhanced rifles supplied by the CIA to help them assist the Chechnyans in their anti-federalist rebellion.
Now imagine that the Yakuza (Japanese mafia) in Moscow are supplied with handsome berettas (supplied also by the CIA) to help them assist the Chechnyans.
What the Cossacks and the Yakuza do not know, however, is that the CIA has secretly forged these militant contracts with them to actually set parties against each other to create all kinds of general mayhem and confusion in Russia (so the Soviet Union can not come back to power).
This sort of scenario is realistic in the modern world of espionage-gauged 'politics,' politics based more on profiteerism and territorialism than on land or culture considerations. Maybe we're regressing back to the sociological patterns of the sea-faring plundering Vikings...
The Christian Bible says that at the End of Days, the formidable kingdoms of Gog and Magog will be arrayed against each other and will illuminate some of the nasty trends symbolic of the apocalypse.
Perhaps the fact that you can now purchase firearms on the Internet suggests that humanism and sociology have almost become fables.
All this kind of talk makes me think of the paranoia novel Grendel which tells the story of a pensive monster.
