Sleight for Profit

/slīt fȯr prä-fət/

When an event is created/fabricated to push a country into war for the means of profiting from the war. A type of false flag event where the only thing that is false is the purpose of the war.

The entry into the war looked like a simple mistake but when every thing unfoled the mistake was nothing more than Sleight for Profit.
