"It must be true because it seems to be false" is a giant red flag for conspiracy rhetoric, FWIW.
Again, I'm not interested in engaging on the subject. I'm explaining why regular people looking at real wars don't see things your way.

I'm explaining the same thing, the difference is my interpretation is based on actual historic events. That is, ultimately, what regular people believe isn't an accident.

Hypotheses that can adapt to any evidence are meaningless because they can't be proven wrong. Lack of evidence in favor might be just what you'd expect, but it can't be evidence itself.
It's possible that everything it claims is true, but if it can't make testable predictions then it doesn't matter: it's a stopped clock. You can never trust it when it tells the time.
Conspiracy theories are usually like this, so people dismiss them.
History, especially recent history*, is clear...don't underestimate the nefarious, especially when their reputations aren't properly understood. Especially when they're so adept at controlling the narrative of their story.
* For example, just last week there was this:

To continue to label the established MO of these outfits as "conspiracy theory" is lazy and out of touch with reality.
