This time is *not* different.
The basis of your "both Putin and Trump are Jewish controlled fighting a fake war" theory would be similar to the Alex Jones claim that many wars among kings in the old days were orchestrated where neither side would win on purpose and the only real goal was to help each other cull off excess population. It seems plausible, except for the fact most wars never play out that way and one side usually loses big. Any king entering into such agreement would be putting themselves at enormous risk, so the risk/reward is kind of not there. There's too many pieces outside of control to stage fake wars in most cases.
