Bring it up in the edits.

The lead in is very poorly written, the next section "Background" seems fine though.

@Cheradenine I don't know enough about that war; it seems to haul in America from the outside, though - very confusing

The overweight rambling lead is unfortunately a bit of a common problem. I would do something to fix it (this is one of my usual topics) but alas I'm not keen to blow my cover here! It might get a tidy-up if you lobby for it hard enough on the talk page. Alternatively, consider doing it yourself, just make sure to announce your plans first.

That's why I'm not doing the edit either...
