They just write little Tom Clancy stories in their heads

When I was in grade school I read a lot of Tom Clancy and spoiled the ending of debt of honour to my grade 5 teacher

I think he was part mad because I spoiled the ending and part mad that he was reading the same geopolitical thrillers as a 10 year old

I was just about to say that this is like Tom Clancy but less grounded.

In Chaos Theory North Korea's aggression is entirely the result of Japanese fascists who want to remilitarize hacking their missile systems with the help of an American military contractor who wants to start a regional war for profit, so maybe they should re-read their source material.
