[@KoL] My case is that if you say "They're puppets" that makes the next statement of "Go kill them" nonsensical. If you're asserting that they're puppets, then you're asserting that they're not the real targets. And with the whole gilded cage thing, you could make a compelling case for "let's go after the puppet masters to free your beloved faction leaders". But "They're unwilling puppets, that's why you must kill them" makes no sense to me.

I see, you are still interpreting this wrong. She didn't say or imply that they are unwilling puppets, that they are puppets. Many revolutions happened during the course of history simply to overthrow a government that was seen as a puppet of another power.

She pretty much said that the leaders are corrupt and know of everything, being no more than figure heads that will happily keep on being puppets as long as it benefits them. For using everyone, they naturally deserve to be punished.
