Earlier I was reading From Russia With Love and as it went on about the USSR I suddenly thought "It's like Aztechnology with snow." and it made me wonder, what are the ultimate goals of the tripple A's?

The soviets wanted world dommination and set out to undermine their enemies. What do the AAA's want? We know they do not want open world control, let the governments handle the pesky paperwork but what do they want? Just a profit line? Destruction of their enemies? AZT seems to want dominion of it's region but does it want to expand? Does it care what Cross does in quebec? Does it seek to see Cross fall because it wants Qubec too or because it fears Cross will move into Mexico? or do they just want happy consumers to buy their products?

Is Ares Macrotechnologies really a 'good guy' corp as it projects? Does it seek to rebuild American power or does it like the UCAS weak so it must rely on the home grown corp?

Does Wuxing really care about a pac rim alliance or is it a useful shield against other corps? Does it really want to dismantle its other member states more than it wants to face off competion? and so forth.

If just out for profit, why have the high level of violent spying? What else is their goal? Something more than the bottom line. I mean something gets to AAA status it's not going to go away (Fuchi doesn't count) it can't be taken so why does it try to chop up other AAA's? or are they just trapped in not knowing what else to do but keep rolling on? what 's going on?
